The term 'invisible deficit' comes from the introduction to Taylor's
"Principles of Scientific Management":

"We can see and feel the waste of material things. Awkward, inefficient, or
ill-directed movements of men, however, leave nothing visible or tangible
behind them. Their appreciation calls for an act of memory, an effort of the
imagination. And for this reason, even though our daily loss from this source
is greater than from our waste of material things, the one has stirred us
deeply, while the other has moved us but little."

I also relate it to the Dunning-Kruger effect, due to the meta-cognitive bias that we
do not know what we do not know, hence the deficit in our thinking is invisible to us.
