- It's easier to take a small thing that is known to work and extend it to generalize it.
- It's like pulling taffy.
- At every point, it exists and is viable.

- Compare that to starting with a theory and trying to build the real thing.
- The time from the design to the reality is a small miracle.
- The likelihood of failure goes up at a compounding rate with size.
