Breaking the liberal/conservative axis.

All models are wrong, but some of them are useful. 

The liberal/conservative dichotomy is a useful model, but the one thing that is more true of software than anything else is it's nonlinearity (and malleability).

If constructing an exception to a rule is possible, then we can automate it. If we can automate it, we can make it easy, and if we can make it easy, we can make it mainstream. In addition to describing the way things are, we also need to describe the way things should be.


Then make it happen.
