When building a complex system, having crackerjack programmers (who can make any design work, even a bad one) can be a liability.

God is cruel and not cruel. He is all being and not being at the same time. Hence He is all contradictions. Nature also is nothing but a mass of contradictions. — Swami Vivekananda
