The flip side to the perils of [[complexity]] and [[normal accident]] theory, is convexity of benefit. Innovation, benefit, boon, fiesta ''is just as hard to predict as catastrophe''.

If you are want to wreak innovation at ''your'' shop, consider yourself Clarice. Face up to your Lecter.
:'''Lecter''': First principles, Clarice. Simplicity. Read Marcus Aurelius. “Of each particular thing ask: ''what is it in itself? What is its nature?''” What does she need, this [[legal eagle]] you talk about?
:'''Clarice''': To [[Innovation paradox|innovate]]!
