I think the pretend/appearances work is necessary. If we look at Price's Law, it suggests that 50% of the work is done by the square root of the population doing that job. Really, all the work could get done by just having the top productivity percentile do work. The problem is, the top percentile isn't going to do work if everyone else is getting to not at least pretend to work. I know I wouldn't.

Or would the bottom drop out of the book market. Do great sales people only make sales when their clients mostly meet rubbish ones?
