- Problems that people don't realize are happening (where people cannot relate visible symptoms to their root causes). You only get credit for addressing visible symptoms. Though, disturbingly, you will get credit even if the fix is only temporary... This creates an incentive to only address symptoms since not solving the root problem allows you to get credit over and over again for fixing the (recurring) symptoms... In fact, people will praise you even more as a 'Relentless hero who dedicated their entire life to the problem' LOL.
Also, nobody gets punished for creating new problems if the visible symptoms cannot be traced back to the root cause. That's why I oppose complexity in all matters - It obscures root causes and sends everyone off on a wild goose chase addressing symptoms... Complexity turns everything into a frustrating game of whac-a-mole.
The person causing a problem can even get the credit for solving symptoms of that problem.
