"If productivity can be measured by throughput then it shouldn't be done by humans." I forget the author, or the exact quote, but basically this. Brainless jobs should be automated, nobody should be an automaton. This doesn't mean we give up on craftsmanship, but mass production and busy work should be eliminated from human roles.
