As compression increases, so does distortion. Junior IT practitioners often recite a few over-simplified (and heavily distorted) rules without in-depth understanding: If A, then do B. The results are disastrous. If expertise can actually be reduced to a 1-page look-up table, who needs a human brain to carry that around?

Problem solving is complex and dynamic. Management that brutally criticize and demand unreasonable results based on over-simplified reports and false assumptions are guilty of this. TV personality tech advices are more entertainment than substance. I call it the Dr. Ruth effect.
