With implicit information we are still being impacted by the implicit data however the impact on our decision is unknown. So to have this hidden source more cognitively available we can weigh it with our explicit data. Seems a potential for increased data points though, causing some potential dissonance, thus reasonable that decision makers might avoid dealing with the implicit if nothing else than to avoid stress.
The issue, though, is that the implicit is included in the decision whether you make it explicit or not. If I decide when to set my alarm, implicit in that decision is a forecast of how long I will take to get ready/how long it will take me to get to work. Always better if it is already implicit to make it explicit...unless of course the decision is very low impact. Then don't bother with too much process.
