That would explain a curious dissonance: these modernising techniques arrive and flourish, while traditional modes of working requiring skill, craftsmanship and tact are outsourced, computerised, right-sized and AI-enhanced — but yet the end product gets no less cumbersome, no faster, no leaner, and no less risky.  ''[[Tedium]] remains constant''.<ref>This may be a [[sixteenth law of worker entropy]].</ref>

We present therefore the [[JC]]’s [[sixteenth law of worker entropy]] — the “[[law of conservation of tedium]]”:
{{quote|The total amount of tedium in an isolated system remains constant. Tedium can be neither created nor destroyed, it can only be transformed from one form to another, or transferred from one system to another.}}
