Human relationships can break down in an instant, but most are the result of long-term mistrust. Likewise, reliability is built over time. A single special trigger can initiate this breakdown, with all outcomes being a continuous accumulation of small factors.

A comment system was in place at a United States Forest Service branch with 2,500 employees. The employees were instructed to submit their proposals on page 4 for comment. Two hundred and fifty-two proposals were submitted over four years. In terms of the number of employees, one idea was proposed every 40 years. The change was necessary. Employees were required to submit a brief idea outline via email. In 30 days, the idea could be implemented if there was no response from the designated contact and no legal issues arose. In the first year, 6,000 ideas were generated. A person without creativity may enter the organization, but the organization may destroy creativity.
