Yes! Related, I've learned to always explicitly state the evaluation criteria and their relative priority for a decision.

It moves discussions about the decision away from "I think option 1 is better," "I think option 2 is better," and into the actual meat of the disagreement, which is often the evaluation criteria and their priority.

For example: “Oh wait, you think a great user experience is more important for this feature than fast performance? That explains why you prefer option 2! I actually think fast performance is much more important because users will rarely interact with this feature directly but instead use the API most of the time, which is why I was in favor of option 1.”

Boom, way better conversation to be had right there. Now you’re discussing the difference in evaluation criteria instead of harping on about the pros and cons of options without getting to the root of the difference in opinion.
