I'm a fan of anything that is rooted in reality and has been battle-tested. If it's theoretical, I don't care about it. Toyota didn't will lean into thin air out of nothing. It was evolved, tested, and refined in the harsh economic realities of post WW2 Japan. Bullshit wasn't capable of surviving that environment, just things that actually worked.

A lot of the Demming types are pure theory, or just garbage in the modern age.
