How many feel it's periodically necessary to flip coins as one of many means of decision making -- that is decisions only involving the more minor aspects of life? . . .
Sometimes, when all the facts are in, making any decision becomes more important than making the right decision.(Look up "Political Debate" for examples.)

As an aside:
True, but did you know that difficulty in decision making can also be a sign of underlying intelligence, due to more things being considered?
As my grandpappy used to say:

Indeed, I've often wished I were so stupid that I could just barge in, jump to glib conclusions, and act. But once I've had that "wait a minute, there's more to it than that" moment, it's hard to ignore it. So I tend to get most things right, when it's possible to get them right at all, but it can be painfully time-consuming. The fable of the tortoise and the hare has a lot to answer for.
