"Bureaucrats write memoranda both because they appear to be busy when
they are writing and because the memos, once written, immediately

Education bureaucracy.

Of course, "reform" doesn't recognize, much less target this; and in fact *exacerbates* administrative bloat since the "reformers" need plenty of bodies to crunch the numbers and corrupt the "data".
