The dandelion field is more interesting than the dandelion.

Imagine making a more fertile dandelion field, where novel dandelions are more likely to sprout.

Someone taking a superficial view might focus in on a single dandelion: "oh look at this snazzy dandelion!"

But the dandelion is not interesting, the field is!

What's amazing is not the dandelion, but the stochastic rate of dandelion production, any one of which might turn out to change the game.
