"The article basically thinks that X don't actually know what they are doing when most actually do."
I see this everywhere (and I suspect this isn't news to anyone). "How hard can farming really be?" "We just have to disrupt with tech synergies." And whatnot. I find this mindset to be offensive and such a self-own by limiting one's understanding of the state of things.
Bodybuilding, and in general fitness, asks for a lot of your time. How can one honestly think that these people aren't constantly endeavoring to optimize?
I imagine there are cases of a local maxima (am I using this correctly?) where something works well for generations and industries get a bit stuck doing it "the good ol' way." But I think that's more an exception than a rule.

Of course I'm trying to do my best when I'm whittling or system designing - but maybe I'm implicitly working under a constraint that isn't necessary, or maybe my intuitive sense of how well I'm doing is systematically skewed in some way.
