I hear what you're saying and you're probably right. But also think about what vision the artist had in mind. That's sometimes harder. Artists can be jerks.
Oblique strategies. That was the set of cards Brian Eno used in the studio. At least, apocryphally. There used to be an app.

Always put your thoughts across. I'm just presenting what I think. I do have a surprising amount of relative experience so I may press and maybe too much. But anyone from beginner to [insert name you your favorite mixer here] can and should voice what moves them. If someone said I never mixed before but I love the banjo then...bad example banjos are terrible. But if someone said they loved the guitars or whatever then they're obvious seeing something important. As long as it's not a banjo what moves them is important and we should keep that in mind.

It doesn't have to sound good. People just need to think it sounds good.
