Nassim Taleb also has a lot of stuff that goes against this kind of thing. The core of antifragile is that you should position yourself to gain from disorder rather than fight it. I kind of hate the whole thing, because while you do occasionally get some great innovation that way, he really undervalues the army of "Fragilistas" that take those innovations and make them reliable and practical. I think he'd probably be against "Max efficiency" thinking, but "Max effectiveness" thinking is still not the same as "Minimum major trouble". He's a bit too "Move fast and break things", which is kind of like max efficiency, if you define efficiency as "How much business growth can I pack in ten years". I've always thought that things should be planned with "Time firebreaks", that are absolutely excluded from all ahead of time planning whatsoever, with the intent of cleaning up any unexpected trouble you run into. Not quite a break time, those are planned ahead and known to be necessary.
