And frankly, I think it's unnecessary for three people to each do the work that one can do when it's the one who is the interested party, not the three.

gardenergirl,
You wrote,[...no...] to that I wrote that the generally accepted meaning of {efficient} is that it achieves the intended effect.
Here is a link to the merriam-webster deinition of efficient. They use the phrase {production of desired effect}. I understand that to mean that it achieves the intended effect.
