Layer upon layer of subtlety. That is what human speech is encased in. They have "politeness" and "etiquette" and all sorts of absurd customs that merely serve to obscure the true meaning of their speech. It would appear that humans are incapable of saying things literally and meaning what they say.
If one thinks one can safely assume that such subtlety is the domain of politicians, they are patently wrong. "Politics" have wormed their way to even the lowest of human ranks. It is no longer sufficient to go "Here I am, and this is what I can do." There are "many other factors to take into consideration", many of which are completely irrelevant to efficiency and functionality.
Would an organization or company suffer an incompetent but socially adept worker to endure? Apparently so. Plans within plans within plans. Even inept social incompetents are awarded key positions by virtue of the people they know. And people wonder at the inefficiencies of human systems...
