" the inconvenience to courier corporations is no good reason why they should give up on that."
This is an inconvenience to themselves - the courier is just providing them with a service that is impaired by the addressing system. It is by definition a good reason why they should replace the error-prone system.
Let me ask you - in your job, if someone suggests a change that will improve how things work, would you be against it because the bad way of doing things is party of the business's identity? It's nonsense, really isn't it.
- gbear605 8y agoJobs are different from towns. The people living here aren’t optimizing for efficiency.
- kortilla 8y agoAllowing people to eat more than one or two types of meals is also a massive inconvenience. Society would be much more efficient if we all just got our weekly bag of rice and beans. Painting and other art forms are also huge inconveniences. They are neither edible nor do they provide shelter. Definitely don’t forget letting people speak their native languages. The incredible economic friction of language barriers has cost the world billions in duplicated efforts.
