Beavers Axe
A concept or suggestion that in practice would in fact be beneficial, but only in a negligible attribute or change.
as in you change or introduce something that leads to an objectively positive effect, but the effect is functionally redundant , possibly due to the original subject having the means to perform whichever task the suggestion was aiming for, or outside negatives/positives balancing its effect out.
The suggestion may also even harm the subject when effecting or effected by other factors of the subject or its surroundings (physically or broadly).
I'm not smart so I cant think of a specific example, but you fellas get the picture!
The term stems from the fact that an axe wielding beaver already has the biological means to cut down a tree, and must now either redundantly use an axe, or even inefficiently fumble about with the axe due to its stupid animal PAW hands. Beavers can barely hold axes, also their weak.
Anyways, a beavers axe is at best neutral, and at worst less convenient.
