It seemed to mean:
A solution to solving a problem is gaining momentum, and we hear:

"wait, let's do it this way, it's better"

which prevents the original idea from being implemented, and the tendency
is for the energy which was pushing a solution forward switches to debate.
It may be somewhat sprint-specific, the discussion of pro and con is more
appropriate when not under the time constraints of a sprint.
