Humans are weird.

In the absence of a working solution, people would prefer a well-intentioned (but as you said non-effective) solution to NOTHING.

If you do nothing, people will yell at you to do SOMETHING.

Sure, doing the RIGHT thing is best - but until then doing something is better than doing nothing.

Not saying I agree, just that's the idea.




So true.

If you’ve got something and it functions, your job is done, move on.
