I have devised an analogy to help you guys understand each other.
Some people are innately more suited to decision-making more than others. It's like dancing and choreography. Some people are just great dancers, some are just great choreographers, the vast majority can be a little bit of both and some are actually very good at both.
Now a dancer's "place", when they've accepted a job is to learn the choreography and perform it. From HisEvelyn's standpoint, she's just a dancer. When something isn't the required choreography, it's mostly simply a misinterpretation and requires clarification. She doesn't spend too much time thinking about the choreography, she just tries to do it accurately.
For some other people, their decision-making thought processes will cause them to deliberately or subconsciously modify elements of the choreography.
Now, some choreographers will get upset and remind the dancers who is in charge when their vision isn't being respected 99% perfectly, some will incorporate elements into the choreography if they improve it (from the choreographer's point of view) and some may be really easy-going about it letting the dancers incorporate random elements they like.
And even the easy-going ones will get upset if you start changing the choreography mid-performance without asking them, because they're ultimately responsible. They'll remind everyone what their place in the entire arrangement is.
Personally, I fall quite neatly into the last category, in ANYTHING I've ever been put in charge in, because I always want to make sure everyone is well-inspired, personally invested and not having their creativity limited. And I don't mind not being in charge in things, but if I do take responsibility for something and you fuck with my vision (especially considering how considerate I am to begin with), I get very, very, very annoyed.
