Efficiency is not the norm, effectiveness is.

Instead of spending 2 hrs to convince my wife that we need to buy car X, it is easier to say "We are buying car X because I think it is the best idea. End of story.", IOW "Because I said so".

But what respect for your wife would you have?
It is not wasteful to debate an issue with my wife for a week or longer if that's what is necessary.

You mean putting forth your view in a nice way?

Nicety had nothing to do with it. The word was being used in this discussion and instead of saying "equal negating power" and confusing certain persons I chose to use "equal veto power".
I felt it was more practical.

You are trying to make a new phrase by saying she has veto power but less than yours. It is not different than saying you have veto power except now you are including her in it.

But that's still different from what I was trying to convey.
