In Brazil, there is often an emphasis on personal relationships and informal guidance, but blind decisions are still viewed negatively. In the USA, the term is frequently used in corporate contexts to criticize lack of data analysis and strategic planning. The phrase has gained prominence with the rise of data-driven business methodologies.
