Suppose you employed two people to wash your dishes, where the first
merely rinses, and the second does poor unreliable job of washing.
Does not sound like a good idea does it? Ineffective and wasteful.

Now, replace the second one with a machine. Is that any better?

Of course, to do this experiment you have to find some sort of machine
that washes dishes badly. How do find such a machine? Perhaps the
easiest way is to use a regular dishwasher but cause it to do a poor
job. You could, say, overload it or fail to follow the loading
instructions in the manual.

But wait. Is it not the case that tens of millions of people wash
their dishes in just this manner religously every day?

Yes, they do, which is why we don't bother. We just scrape them off and let the
cats lick them clean.

When these two die, we're going to get two more and name them Maytag and
Kenmore.

Obviously you haven't figured out any other dish washing options. Ya FIDIOT!

Use disposable plates, like paper plates. So that you can avoid washing dishes.

That describes me to a "T"!!!

The sole purpose for my annual wholesale club pilgrimage! Plus plastic
cups, forks, knives and spoons.

It could take me a week to fill up the dishwasher. I wash pots & pans &
real utensils in the sink.

Washing dishes is one of the most dreaded kitchen chores, which means that many people tend to rush through it. "Doing the dishes" haphazardly can result in a poor cleaning job. Thoroughly cleaning all dishes is important for both sanitary and aesthetic reasons. Also dry you dishes after you washed it.
