Ah but there comes a point where the whole of the program/system is more
than any one man can understand. 8M then 500M now, 200mhz then, 3ghz now.
To use the old car analagy, it's easy to turn an 8 cylinder engine with a
max rpm of 2000, a 500 cylinder engine with a max rpm of 30,000 is a bit
more complex..
