Summary

This quote suggests that institutions or organizations that prioritize logical reasoning and rational decision-making are more open to compromise or making concessions in their interactions with others. By basing their actions on reason rather than rigid stubbornness, these institutions are able to find common ground and negotiate with other parties more effectively. Ultimately, such an approach allows for smoother collaboration and minimizes the negative impact of concessions on the institution.
