Principlev1

Eliminate unnecessary process steps entirely before

Eliminate unnecessary process steps entirely before attempting to make necessary steps faster, as structural removal produces larger gains than incremental speed improvements.

Why This Is a Principle

Follows from Directed Attention as Depletable Resource (cognitive depletion) and Behavior follows the path of least resistance due to the (path of least resistance). Taylor's principle prescribes elimination over optimization where possible.
