God I miss when comments like this that succinctly draw deep parallels to history, pose hard questions for the readership, and do so via a literacy that is too often snubbed as elitist were always the top comment.

If there’s anything wrong with this comment it’s that there should have been a link, so I’ll fill in the one and only gap: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_and_motion_study

The original comment did stick out to me, but yours made me go back and re-read it in a fresh light. I appreciate that - you've turned a comment I would've skimmed over into something I will spend the next week thinking about.

Appreciate the wiki link, as well.

Cheers!

I like how they mentioned Gilbreth instead of the arguably better-known Taylor - the one actually concerned with time -, lest the uneducated reader grasp the reference.
I had completely missed the reference! This is super interesting.
