How: Poking people in positive directions that make the world more interesting, supporting them in the difficulties they find along the way. Why: because I hates it.

Honestly mostly "I know it when I see it". Things being worse than they need to be for no particularly good reason, or a reason that can be fixed just by overcoming a one off activation energy, is the most ubiquitous form I get grumpy about though.

I just think I'd call the problem "suboptimality" or maybe "inefficiency" :)

Gosh no. Optimisation and efficiency are prime sources of mediocrity.

I think your use of the term "mediocrity" is very non-standard. Which is not neccessarily bad! But I think it is confusing (at least to me).

Maybe, yeah, but I think it lines up. I roughly mean when... things are basically OK, kinda bad but not in any particularly interesting way, and possess the potential to be better and/or more interesting.
