Ah, contrary to what I mused elsewhere, concreteness can also lead to bad friction Eg, KPIs, metrics, but of productivity, of "veracity", not understanding Anecdotes--> better friction than data, sometimes, though :) How about

Agree, just adding the observation that problem specificity, concreteness, engineering relevance, or even "empiricity" seems (vaguely) proportional to how much "good friction" can be generated. There's also bad fric

Sisyphus is apt because he was "punished" by a superhuman entity for doing basically the right thing (from a mortal's pov). Doesn't it remind of alpoge, who tried to keep it as traditional as was possible? Nice one! Then
