The easier solution to is remove them.
- error_logic 3y agoIt's always easier to assume that the fault lies with the listener rather than the speaker. That doesn't mean it's the most effective bias to hold.
- ctrw 3y agoIf the speaker can convince the listener they should find a job where they don't need to speak as part of the job description. Dishwashers and janitors give pletnly of job stability for people like those.
- error_logic 3y agoI was too abstract. I meant that when a message is misunderstood by a large enough chunk of the audience it's the speaker's fault for not knowing their audience and their needs. To be clear, you demonstrated the bias I was referring to by casting doubt on the intelligence or job-worthiness of the listeners rather than recognizing what I said about effectiveness being improved if you can get your message to more people.
- johnnyanmac 3y agoSure, and the best optimization of any bottleneck is to cut the feature, doing nothing is O(1) after all. As you can imagine, it's a solution that kills the product (or the company) in the long term.
- ctrw 3y agoA company is like a rose bush, keeping it civilised means constant aggressive prunning.
- Sharlin 3y agoSurely the bush itself cannot be responsible for its own pruning, that would be a conflict of interest. Anyway, it's always best to start pruning at the top.
- ctrw 3y agoAt the tips actually.
