#4I'm expecting a lot of finger-wavy responses, but broadly I'll just say -- I really like seeing things like this "in print." I feel like in today's (obviously in spaces like this, but generally) LinkedIn world, it is literally important to push back against the seriousness of the work world, since it's not always clear that this flavor of work is always (or even mostly) an air-quotes "good thing."

Just give them the usual response. If you can't prove it with empirical evidence and there's a mountain of rational counterarguments, it's likely not the panacea you think it is.
The only reason business is invulnerable to logic, is because business holds the reins. Not because their methods are actively shown to be the great.
