+I conclude that there are two ways of constructing a software design: One way 
+is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies and the other 
+way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. 
+
+The first method is far more difficult. It demands the same skill, devotion, 
+insight, and even inspiration as the discovery of the simple physical laws 
+which underlie the complex phenomena of nature. It also requires a willingness 
+to accept objectives which are limited by physical, logical, and technological 
+constraints, and to accept a compromise when conflicting objectives cannot be 
+met. No committee will ever do this until it is too late.
