Design produces refinement and detail.
- Design produces refinement and detail. Product produces momentum.
- Detail by default slows down momentum.
- Because it's more details for a marginal contributor to have to come up to speed on and say "yeah this is possibly viable and works."
- The question is: do collaborators believe it's viable?
- Versus a thing that has momentum even if it's hideous, everyone can agree at least it's viable, taking any details of how it works as at the very least obviously producing something viable, albeit possibly ugly.
- A thing that is not yet demonstrated to be viable, people have to believe all the details.
- The more details, the less likely a collaborator will view them all as creating something viable.
