Regulators ‘driving innovation’ @tobyjlowe
Something motor racing does.

Some F1 Engineers I met told me that Homologation
Specifically the Regulators cunningly ‘changing the rules’
Forced them the develop new solutions (innovation, tralllahhh)

This post about the Disconnected Jerk illustrates.
Research from Germany where workers avoid ‘The Disconnected Jerk’ - even though they should share knowledge with them. bit.ly/183ip3u
Deviant Librarians
A lovely example of how deep knowledge held by Librarians put them into conflict with a Perfect System.
