I've worked with people who insist on doing everything from first principles: never accepting a rule for what it is, always asking about the underlying reasons behind it, and questioning everything all the time.
It is enlightening... and infuriating 😂 the worst ones lack the social norms of when it is acceptable to question and take ages to get anywhere. Time and place!
Before asking whether a standup should not be 10 minutes, one should consider whether this is a relevant issue in the grand scheme of things. Don't we have more important things to discuss?
Yes, challenging the rules all the time can be exhausting too, but I'd still take that over unnecessary rules as they are more exhausting and more difficult to fix. The rotten apples who always challenge everything in a way that damages relationships and hurts productivity are easy to get rid off.
And you should get rid of those people IMO if they don't change as it can be toxic behavior.
But you need people that challenge the rules, preferably in a way that preserves relationships and doesn't derail everything.

Dogma is a form of efficiency.

Any good idea pushed to its extreme is unlikely to be helpful. Doesn't mean it isn't a good idea to challenge rules.
You did inversion which is awesome and exactly what we always should do so I was happy to read your comment! :-)
