While you're correct by the definition, it still kinda misses the issue because the main point was productivity, not efficiency.

Its true that with limited demand being more efficient would give you more break time. That's however not the reality as there is always more to do.

Now it's suddenly profitable to remove all breaks as long as the extra time offsets the reduced efficiency.
