Well, you can do that if you want. Let me just point out that both

No, there are other forms of systematization. "Hire credentials,
hammer into <shape> hole, run machine" is what we know how to do best,
but it doesn't mean we shouldn't try other systems that might do better.

Yes. "That's the relevant task space." :-)

Maybe you should come (return?) to Japan, where the girls are cute and
they save the shit for the Diet![1]
