A Tiny Crevice. In other words, it is also called an affordance, permissiveness, or tolerance. A 5mm hole and a 5mm rod don’t fit perfectly together. If you hit it with a hammer, the rod might go into the hole, but only by forcing it. If they are the same size, they don’t really fit. There needs to be a slight gap to ensure a proper fit, which is known as ‘engineering tolerance.’ In this world, 5mm exists only as a concept and doesn’t truly confirm its existence. For some, ‘tolerance’ might be seen as a mistake or imperfection, but for others, it’s a principle of life that drives the world and should be natural. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Most of the time, experts are individuals who make a living by simplifying complex concepts. In other words, an expert serves as a commentator or interpreter. Positions that readily clarify intricate topics often exist in fields filled with conflict or dissatisfaction, as well as those that engage in productive activities. Lawyers and politicians represent the former category, while media professionals belong to the latter. The degrees of difficulty in complexity frequently create a demand for certain jobs, which also presents a business opportunity. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Good design balances "form follows function" and "function follows form. An example of a design where form follows function is an airplane. An example of a design where function follows form is a doorknob on one side of a sliding door that opens only in one direction. It doesn't matter which came first, the chicken or the egg. The more you understand the technology, the better the design will be. With their many features, smartphones have simplified their form with touchscreen functionality. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
