Two people live together. Let’s call them… Dr X and Dr Y. Dr X believes that kitchen items should be put away by function, e.g. group all baking things together, group all sauce-making things together. Dr Y believes that things should be put together by type, e.g. glass bowls go together, condiments go together.
EXAMPLES: under the Dr X system, cornflour goes with the gravy granules because they’re both used in sauces. Under the Dr Y system, cornflour goes with the other flours because it’s a flour.
Judgement:
The Dr X system (sorting by function) makes no sense
The Dr Y system (sorting by type) makes no sense
So the cops knew that internal affairs was setting them up?
I would be mostly with Dr. X, but with some flexibility to allow for efficient use of space which may be otherwise comprised by the strict application of that approach.
I’m more of a Dr X (and that was an interesting sentence to type out). I have a shelf for baking things and let me assure you, the cornflour does not go in there.
