I don't get baked potatoes (programming.dev)

Would you like a lump of unsalted, uunflavored starch? No? What if we slice it open and dump in a lot of heavy flavor ingredients and spices? That way you can overwhelm your taste buds in the first few forkfuls, and the remaining unflavored mass will taste even blander by comparison!

Who invented this and what did they have against dicing the potato in appropriately sized chunks to absorb and distribute the flavor?

Oh, I never had to deal with precooked, microwaved food! But it's been a really long time since I worked in a restaurant. I did work somewhere food was cooked, delivered, and kept in heated and cold holding stations until serving.
