Musk found this out firsthand when he admitted that he had over-automated some things that still are best done by manual labor. Creative solutions aren't necessarily better, and usually worse.
This underlines the importance of the conservative vs liberal balance. The conservative approach gets things done the way we already know how to get things done. Liberal ideas propose better ways to do things, or adapt to changing circumstances. Most new ideas are terrible and fail, but usually that's what is necessary to figure out what works best. Once a new way is proved to be best, it's adopted by the conservatives and becomes THE way to do things... until something better comes along.
