And, thinking about this a little harder, it is unclear that a complicated taxonomy of mixing is...

Productivity is not the same thing as accomplishment. It doesn’t exist as a concept to justify anyone’s existence or continued employment or general worthiness. It exists to justify denying these things when it proves expedient to do so.
