Re: Delegating (Parkinson's Law of Triviality)
Indeed. C Northcote Parkinson commented on that phenomenon in "Parkinson's Law". IIRC the example was approving construction of a nuclear power plant in a couple of minutes then spending hours discussing construction materials for a shed to keep employee bicycles out of the rain. This he dubbed the Law of Triviality. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_triviality
