As the topic is process - eg the process of holding a meeting - 1 & 2 are
spurious, and yes, a poor version of 3 simple doesn't give a damn - whether
to the detriment of the company I will leave for subjective speculation.
Additionally, a black hole conserves a 1:1 information ratio dependant upon
the surface area of the event horizon, so it is spurious. Stuff falls in,
the hole gets bigger. It doesn't 'disappear' from the universe as you
suggest. Additionally, because black holes are fuzzy, it is possible for
stuff to 'come out'.
It always helps to be familiar with the subject material at hand Peter.

Three concepts in common usage, one in computing, the second in physics, and
the third in common business practice would appear to bring into question
the idea that there is a necessary one-to-one relationship between meeting
input and
output:
1. The bit bucket (aka \dev\null)
2. The black hole
3. The Rule of the keeper of the minutes
