A lot of inventions come about because of laziness. Some guy somewhere got tired of carrying his things around, so he invented the wheel. Of course, I don't know whether the inventor of the wheel was properly rewarded.

I had this argument with a PhD. I debated it in my head for awhile and just came to the conclusion that it's mostly that people who think hardwork is the best trait is most a self fulfilling prophecy. Accepting that to get to C You have to do AB is absolutely going to make you believe that the work is necessary. Then along comes someone who just hates doing B. definitely they're going to be viewed as lazy, but to want to optimize B, you have to be lazy.

So, what you ultimately have to accept is some hybrid thought process and red/blue roleplay to find optimized workflow, process and the rest.

it's just not a useful dichotomy.
