Is "plan on a page" a phony substitute for "absorbing the design philosophy" ?

Question

(Why spend millions of dollars training your staff to absorb the design philosophy of your suppliers, if you can institute a ridiculous "plan on a page" system and still get your bonus and be out of the organization before anyone notices the systems don't work ?)
