Again, the idea is to sacrifice hypotheses rather than human beings or valuable resources(including time). A society [or corporation] that goes about things in this way will be more successful in achieving the aims of its policy-makers [or managers] than one in which they forbid critical discussion of their policies, or forbid critical comment on the practical consequences of those policies. Suppression of criticism means that more mistakes than otherwise will go unperceived in the formulation of policy, and also that after mistaken policies have been implemented they will be persisted in for longer before being altered or abandoned.
