Often what people consider BS is simply ignorance on the part of someone making that judgement. There’s a reason people are paid to ‘stand around’ on construction sites etc.
Post COVID supply shortages shows the critical importance of many seemingly BS jobs. Similarly a spike in cancer deaths showed up when hospitals delayed less critical procedures.
Rather than BS what’s actually going on is more often chasing diminishing returns. Half the effort may be spent chasing 1% better outcomes as long as the difference is worth the expense.
