There is no requirement to know everything.  There is a requirement to
make decisions in the best interests of the organisation, *as you see
it*.  If a trustee persistently abstains on the big decisions because
they cant see *it* (no vision), or wish to avoid scrutiny, they are
abusing their right to abstain and failing the organisation as a
trustee.
