I think the point is more that you should take care to consider why it was put there because it might be something that is not immediately obvious.

You should identify how a structure interacts with it’s current environment.

OK, but what if it was put there to stop something that only happens once every 10 years? Without taking the time to learn this, you might tear it down and then after a few years you're scrambling to solve a problem that was already solved.

    I think there's been a problem with editing in Hollywood for quite a long time now. Many movies are much longer than they need to. A recent example is Anora, which could have easily trimmed 20-30 minutes of its runtime without losing any plot or character development.

    There was a period of time when some devices did the change automatically, while others needed you to manually do it. Given that you could be late for something important, it makes sense to check whether your devices are up to date. For example, my phone will change it on its own, but my fitness tracker needs to sync with my phone to do it, so it would be easy to forget and find myself running to a late appointment.
