In this post I want to argue that one important thing those middle managers do is that they “simulate the CEO”. If someone wants to know what they should be doing, the middle manager can respond with an approximation of the answer the CEO would have given, and thus allow a large number of people to act as if the CEO was telling them what to do.
It seems to me like you spend a lot of time asserting that this is true. On the other hand, I don’t see you providing evidence for why the reader should believe that this is true. Given that this is LessWrong, I would like it to be more clear about the epistemics of why one should accept that claim.
