it's not as if *all* process is bad. It often really does serve a purpose. Maybe people need to think about the ramifications of not following any given process. If the ramifications are not bad, then the process could be scrapped, or downgraded to "howto" or something.
This is absolutely key. Policy is normally right. It has to be. Otherwise it is bad policy. If a policy *normally* gives the wrong result, it is bad policy. If it *sometimes* gives the bad result, it is fallible policy. And fallible, dear friends, is the best we're going to get.
We must be very careful to avoid process/policy is evil.
