>When you take the time to actually dig in and see what's going on, it makes more sense and is neither wasteful or ineffective.

I'm not disagreeing. So what? It's not wasteful, and it is effective at what the bureaucrats intended it to do. The Baby Stomping Machine 9000 is a marvel of efficiency and stomps babies much more effectively than the old way of stomping on babies. I get that. You're really, truly, factually correct when you say that.

And yet, I don't support it. I oppose it strongly, and I want to see it gone. And if the people who made it are punished afterwards, that's just a bonus. If they are heartbroken and forlorn with it being gone from the world, their tears are sweet nectar.

I get this. Why can't you? I can see it from your perspective. You can't see it from mine.

Large problems often require large groups of humans to address them. Large groups of humans are inefficient. That does not mean we should give up on addressing large problems, or doing the best we can to reduce the inefficiency.

The benefit from addressing the problems outweighs the cost in inefficiency.
