Some skills are like walking.

Extremely important to be able to do up to some sufficient level.

But pushing it past that point is grotesque, unnatural, and unnecessary.

You should make sure you can walk well, but don't try to be a speedwalker.

These are the kinds of skills that are best satisficed, not maximized.

Operating is one of these skills; extremely important, but if not combined with strategic judgment, can be actively dangerous.
