If only they were allowed to question the beliefs--and the Washtowel was more upfront about their "mistakes".
If people are forced to follow exactly what the washtowel directs, and the washtowel makes a blunder, those people are going to be forced into a major problem--just like what happens if we drive too close to a Mack Truck, and the driver of that truck has an accident. We will be forced into that accident--which may be only a fender bender for the truck but a big deal for the car. Likewise, a blunder could have minor consequences for the organization but be devastating for those in if we are not allowed to put some distance between ourselves and the washtowel. At least if we were allowed independent judgment and see the washtowel making a mistake, we could avoid that "accident".
Not only that, but the washtowel is not upfront with its mistakes. They blame the people for taking them too seriously--after getting rid of those who do not take them that seriously before the impact. Those who do not sell out when they tell them to are going to get in trouble, usually endless houndings, from within--those who do sell out get in trouble after, because they took it too seriously. Never do they admit that they made a serious error and then forced people through endless houndings (and worse) into the messes.
