Thanks for sharing that, Dave. I guess it's the mechanization of the process that makes things bad. Not questioning "why" we have to write a document and just doing it instead of understanding the purpose of that document to find strategies so we can create whatever artifact we need without wasting efforts.
Exactly. In fact, I'd go further and say that doing anything without knowing why is suboptimal. Sometimes, the reality is you can't change things, and just have to suck it up. The rest of the time, people asking "why" is the seed of change.
