Note the behaviour that this encourages: following an if/then logic structure requires no understanding of the underlying subject of the process (you don’t need to know how an internal combustion engine works to drive a car), and indeed such comprehension risks challenge to or subversion of that process: [[subject matter expert]]ise might incline one to ''take a view'' on a formal, non material issue. That might accelerates the particular item through the system, but at a cost to the ''integrity of the process''. Integrity of the process is ''everything'' in modern risk management dogma.

Integrity of the process is ''everything'' in modern risk management dogma.


The other thing about [[subject matter expert]]s is that they are expensive, also a cardinal sin in an industry where the highest calling is cost reduction. The ideal “[[process participant]]” costs nothing, follows instructions with perfect fidelity, doesn't break down or make errors, and certainly doesn't think or question the process: that is, it is ''a computer''. In the same way a machine doesn't question its programme (it can't), a [[process participant]] escalates within the process, but doesn’t question it. the difference is that cantakerous human process participants ''can''.
