It doesn't help either. When given a choice between two methods, neither proposing any real advantage over the other, you pick the faster one.

I am trying to get standard procedure set up so our code looks the same across the script. Once we get basic things like that in place I won't be micro-managing people like I seem to be doing now.

As for being strict, I am only strict on general things like indentation and general structure. Once we get to smaller things, I wont care. I won't even look at the source most of the time when we move forward. However, when starting a project, what kind of project leader am I if I make no decisions? We saw where not being decisive got us for a month or so. I am sorry if I come across as arrogant, but I don't want to be asked for proof when I give a reason as simple as it takes longer (I'm always more compelled to answer "I'll do it, any particular reason you feel that way?" replies).
