An interesting inversion on Chesterton’s Fence. I personally am a fan of not messing with things until you know why they are the way they are. However, too many people don’t actually ask the question and just keep doing things the way they have always been done.
I saw this in the Air Force all the time. Mediocre leaders did things this way. Terrible leaders changed things just for the sake of changing them and getting their name on something. The best leaders asked “why do we do it this way?” for every process, and only changed things if it made sense.
Small Oven Syndrome definitely is easier to say than "filiopietism." I saw this phenomena quite often during my Corporate career and it drove me crazy. I love that you wrote this!
