When a culture of discussion comes into conflict with a culture of bureaucracy, debate is not an optimal change instrument. Discussion cultures have evolution as their goal, while bureaucratic cultures have risk reduction and cost distribution as their goals. Bureaucracies can be changed by: 1. localized force (negotiation: private risk & private cost distribution) 2. distributed feedback (metrics: public risk & public cost distribution) 3. obsolescence (competition: public risk & discontinuous costs) Apache is capable of exercising any or all of these, independent of circumstantial parties or objectives.
