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

默顿称这种义为对规则奉献，因为它们就是规则。

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

正如我们在官僚义义和异化中看到那样，理性系统往往是不合理、没有人情味。

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

对规则关注导致另一种低效率：官僚义。
