Wouldn't you figure that business schools are supposed to prepare young students for jobs of the future, and one of the things they are supposed to do after they graduate is replace the bad systems that they find in those clueless old companies they end up working for that have only optimized their workflow for maybe one or two centuries at the most beforehand.
Another thing is that an institue of higher learning can be judged by how easily its graduates can get hired doing what they were trained to do, in other words they are meeting a real ongoing need.
So if you were going to try and assure the most opportunities for practitioners overall in the long run, would it really pay off the most to train students to replace bad systems with truly better or even "good" systems once and for all?
EDIT: My homie got so many upvotes so quickly with such an article I had to check if he was as famous as Elon Musk and I was just out of the loop. I feel like he cracked the hacker news code or something shady is afoot or both. He says "I’m in the Guerrilla Marketing Hall of Fame, the Direct Marketing Hall of Fame and, just recently, the plain old no-modifier Marketing Hall of Fame."
