Tradition seems to be an end in itself for some people. In fact, that may even be one of their cherished beliefs.

Yes, that is a problem.

I don't know how many times I've had systems users say to me that they sent the yellow copy to Joe and Mary initials the blue copy which George files for three years if the serial number is odd and five years if it's even. Of course, they don't have a clue why they do that but they're quite insistent that it can't be changed.

So I'm wondering if Neo wants his definition to be about cherishing tradition for its own sake or simply being disinclined to uproot traditions that serve a purpose.
