This is likely the result of someone further up the chain, accidentally messing up a work-order, and the team doing the work just blindly doing what it says.

I can't stand people who work with blinders on and never ask logical questions even when they know the work being done is a stupid waste of time and resources.

Sometimes you raise issues and get told to stfu and do your job.

I'm betting it's one of those times.

I've done stupid shit I knew was stupid and I shouldn't be doing them because the order giver was stupid and deserves whatever shit is coming his way.
