Climb the mountain, not the foothill.

  • Climb the mountain, not the foothill.
    • Once you get to the top of the foothill you'll have to climb down to reach the mountain.
    • Climbing down is harder for an organization than climbing up.
      • Climbing up is self-evidently a good idea.
      • Climbing down is normally not a good idea; coordinating everyone to do is like trying to push a swarm up a river.
    • At the beginning the player that is climbing the foothill looks like they have more progress than the player climbing the mountain.
    • But over time the player on the foothill will top out.
