I am inclined to think that procedures that are so esoteric will

They are boring and prosaic, not in the least bit esoteric. They are procedures - just like those used to keep the post office running in India, just as it did before, decades after the colonialists who invented it had left. They are just procedures for making sure that not too much 'shrinks' or too many things that are supposed to be done remain undone. Just what the organisations need.
