Question

Explain why it is usually more difficult to study and control efficiency in a social system than in a physical system?

Answer 1

In a social system, there are peers and strangers to distract one from pursuing their work. While chatting with others, you may forget your train of thought or a good idea. People are likely to take you away from your work more so than a physical system (in which you can always turn off the TV, but not get people to quiet down)
