> Interestingly, I went into this article thinking that "guess culture" would mean something along the lines of guessing what others want or what the right thing to do is, executing it, and revising after the fact based on feedback. Essentially, "It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission." I guess you can call this "do" culture. However, the article talks about guess culture as something else.

Yeah, a more intuitive name would be "Just Ask" vs "Guess If You Can Ask" which emphasizes the difference: Someone from a Just Ask culture wouldn't understand having to guess if you can ask someone something.
