Optimal for what? The validity of this is fully dependent on criteria you are optimizing for.

What do artists, real abstract thinkers and practitioners optimize for? Do they consciously optimize? Is it an industrial era concept that leads to “time saved” but us not knowing how to use that precious time created? More work, internet browsing, social stream..
