Flight Ops always ends commentary about dwell time with if you feel you need to stop the operation for safety stop the operation and they will back you 100%. Furthermore, while dwell time may be a debrief item on a line Check(depending on the reason for the dwell), it is not graded.

This is because Flight Operations empowers Captains to be leaders and decifer when safety or efficiency is appropriate.
