Efficiency is only meaningful relative to goals, and understanding goals is the same as understanding values, so maintaining a system's efficiency requires adherence to its values.

Source quote, verbatim
In order to maintain efficiency, we must understand the answer to the question, "Efficiency in the pursuit of what goals?" Understanding our goals is effectively the same as understanding our values. Therefore, to maintain the system, to maintain its efficiency, we must adhere to our values.
