Sigh. Yes, that makes perfect sense.
I remember reading commentary back in the 1980s to the effect that automating a (business) process doesn't make it BETTER, it just makes its existing failure modes happen FASTER, often with the result that the humans who were able to cope with those failures when they came at a human rate are now overwhelmed by them occurring at the speed of computer processing.
It was true then for paper-based accounting, and it's true now for collaborative software projects.
