Bikeshedding is from Parkinson's law of triviality [1], which essentially says that deciding trivial issues takes a disproportionate amount of time - partly because there are many ways it could be done, and partly because non-trivial issues are hard to comprehend and are therefore easy to agree with. This differs from the OP, where it is the ability to control an issue that is to blame - in Parkinson's law control is equal yet understanding is not. Though of course the relation is strong.
