I often think of how critical of a skill it is for functionaries of a system to remain illegible to the system they are functionaries for, in a way which is crucially neither non-compliance nor actual compliance, and how little cognitive dissonance this requires of them.

Examples of this abound. One which I didn't understand as a child: There was once a DCFS person who forcibly removed a child from the presence of parents, was later apprised that they had taken the wrong child, acknowledged error, and then held off on releasing child to parents.
