If l buy a loaf of bread, l am not presented with a list names of the individual baker who made my loaf, the designer of the wrapping it comes in, or the name of the delivery firm who brought it to the store.

When my insurance disc arrives, there is no accompanying leaflet naming the sales agent who took my call, the underwriter who processed it, or the worker who popped it the envelope.
