Take the following sentences for example.
> If people have enough autonomy to make locally smart decisions, then they can recover from friction more easily.
Having autonomy has no relationship to recovering from friction more easily. Any why would autonomy cause one to make locally smart decision? The person having the autonomy might be the one causing the friction in the first place and might also be the one making bad decisions.
> Friction compounds with itself: two setbacks are more than twice as bad as one setback. This is because most systems are at least somewhat resilient and can adjust itself around some problem, but that makes the next issue harder to deal with.
Why would being resilient to one type of problem cause not being resilient to another type of problem? And why would this cause the friction to compound itself?
Incidentally, ChatGPT does produce an equally (if not more) plausible article when I ask it to produce an article on software friction.
