Some people loves a structured world with clearly stated rules. This has many benefits especially when the situation is very well defined, repeatable and requires many people to cooperate. The down side is that rules will almost never accommodate all possible situations.

So when a problem is very dynamic and requires few people to cooperate it might be beneficial not to try and force strict rules on uncertain conditions.

And yes some people are not as good in picking up social cues and working with loosely defined rules, and maybe they are not the perfect match for these positions. Its not the end of the world.

Not saying that building processes is bad, just that for some situations it might better not to.

P.S. the lawsuit was rejected: http://svelf.com/class-certification-defeated-in-twitter-gen... so maybe not the perfect example in hindsight :)
