If your take is that blindly approving merges with 0 care is actually a good thing and that I "lack understanding" then I simply have to disagree lol. Good luck with that.
Sorry that I was not clear, my bad, I did not mean to imply that you personally "lack understanding" in any way.
What I should have written was that there seemed to be a lack of shared understanding among the team, (i.e, agreement) on the value, meaning and expected process for PR reviews.
I don't think there is any particular level of care that makes sense in all cases for PR reviews, I believe it depends on industry, criticality, the particular repo and who is doing what. I think the most important thing is that everyone is on the same page about what's expected.
