If the organization is risk-averse, it doesn't want risk-neutral voters to gain influence. If it's risk-neutral, then it should incorporate opportunity costs when judging projects in hindsight. Furthermore, if in hindsight a rejected project still appears to have had a high positive EV, the org should register the rejection of the project as a mistake.
This misses the heart of that criticism: mistakes have different magnitudes.
