I think the article is drawing the wrong conclusions. In every example given, the problem isn't "too much efficiency", but failing to plan for unlikely situations.
Making something inefficient doesn't magically increase preparedness.
- mcguire 6y agoNo, but maximizing efficiency doesn't necessarily increase preparedness either. Being prepared has costs.
- jlarocco 6y agoSure, preparedness has costs, but the article makes the point poorly, IMO. Many of the arguments are non sequiturs. The last example is particularly bad. On an icy road, it doesn't matter if a car gets 100 mpg or 10 mpg - speed and traction are far more important factors.
