This is a crucial insight because information asymmetry forces you to pay a premium for that 80% that can be systematized or worse, pay a low price for that 80% and end up getting the lowest quality work on the 20% that needs deep expertise.
This leads to adverse selection or overpaying...
I read somewhere about travel agencies and how the low end work like booking hotels and cars was replaced by websites, but the more complicated travel services like planning a vacation are still sourced to travel agents.
Hopefully every industry would move towards an environment where you can pay a premium for the part that needs expertise and pay fair market value for the part that can be systematized or reliably sourced for less.

- davemel37 11y agoI can't take credit for that insight. It is a relatively common theory if you research information asymmetry.
