Sure, but "taking up time unnecessarily" is only what bureaucracy does from a particular outside perspective.

If you actually look at bureaucracy, what you'll see is that, on the whole, it keeps many abuses and neglects in check, though there are some who manage to abuse it to cause trouble as well.

You can't just say "this is what I perceive this system as doing" and then throw POSIWID at anyone who disagrees with you.
