  • When you feel uncertain you default to pulling forward questions to resolve them, to feel a solid foundation under you.
    • But resolving questions before you need to ties you down.
    • If you can solve it cheaply enough with blunt force, you don't have to figure out the precise force to apply.
      • This is the difference between the engineer and the physicist.
      • The physicist wants the solution to be elegant.
      • The engineer just wants the solution to be good enough.
