I have a half-formed thought about the difference between "yes, and" and "yes, but" and the attitudes and forward momentum that is either promoted by or halted by the choice people make in how they express themselves. The former encourages building on what was done, the latter just crushes it.

Individuals and even groups can't do all things simultaneously, you have to build incrementally. Sometimes you can make a big leap but usually not, and when people "yes but" those incremental gains, it actively demoralizes the people doing the thing, and anyone who might want to try.
