> Except for one person, it never occurred to this very smart group of people that removing the source of confusion could be a good option. Reminds me of the quote: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it." That applies to us as software engineers too, our salary depends on having projects to write code for so it's not so surprising that a very smart group of people don't often consider that doing nothing or removing something is a valid solution. I like the author's observation on this too: it would be nice if removing things were rewarded. I wonder of the employee who questioned the calculator's necessity got any reward.
