Yes to ^ too. Plausible deniability is very real, it doesn’t sound douchy, BUT covering your ass (especially in writing) is most important. Digital paper trail is everything

Kinda depends on the context. Sometimes it gives the team a way to acknowledge alignment or dispute any inaccuracies.

If you find yourself saying it very often you may want to look for more tools to keep everyone on the same page.
