Partners at law firms worldwide use doc reviews to punish (torture?) their junior associates for graduating from law school, starting work, and expecting to be paid.
I think their close cousins work as supervisors in computer programming shops. Those guys utilize the mind-numbing documentation update, the unexpected peer review of your code changes, and most especially the terrifying weekly status meetings with the vice-president.

And I agree, Rac. We need some more LRH! We can't even see the next curve from here, let alone the end of the journey. Clark has to suffer a lot more, Lois has to endure more guilt and shame, and little Jon has to help them figure out that they still have a future together just waiting for them in the next room.
