Merton called this ritualism, a deep devotion to the rules because they are the rules.

默顿称这种仪式主义为对规则的深切奉献，因为是规则。

As we saw with bureaucratic ritualism and alienation, rational systems are often unreasonable, impersonal.

正如我僚主义的仪式主义和异化中看到的那样，理性的系统往往是不合理的、没有人情味的。

And that focus on rules leads to another kind of inefficiency: bureaucratic ritualism.

对规则的关注导致另一种低效率：僚主义。
