Simplification has a rule:
1) Make the thing unnecessary
2) Then get rid of it.

Don't throw away the crutch while you're leaning on it.

This has relevance to every #No<thing> hashtag. If you reduce or eliminate a need, you can reduce or eliminate a practice or role.
Maintaining unneeded practices and roles is waste.

Anytime you recognize that you're not leaning on the crutch, it might be time for step 2

MIGHT be. It isn't certain.
Some behaviors are only necessary sometimes.
Is the "sometime" coming, and what if you don't have the "something"?

Safety gear....

It's better to have and not need it than to need and not have it.
