You know how Mises and Hayek have fundamental arguments that strike at the core of why socialism doesn't work, and then after that we have tons of real life examples of what they were talking about? It feels like committees are the other way around, there are tons of real life examples of how absolutely a shit structure they are, but they're begging for a theoretical explanation as to why they often produce the worst decisions (or really even someone pointing out to the wider world that they're so terrible, there are so many better options than forming a committee, and that making a committee really should be your last ditch option). It's to the point where I'll often hear people joke, "A committee must've made that decision!" and then not only is it often the case, but there's also no blame laid at the committee's feet. Why are committees so terrible, why aren't there more attacks against them, and why do so many organizations continue to use them?
