    This is a good example of american thinking. Do not go to German
    schools if you think this way. One of my american teacher/mentors,
    German trained talks about this. He believes that in america students
    want to learn techniques, that they beat to death, adding new
    techniques , piling them up, instead of doing a design and learning
    the skill or technique to accomplish that design. He also believes it
    better to start a design and finish it the way it was designed, and
    if you think of a change, do it on the next piece. 		 

    This is just opinion, however he has pieces in Oppi's book, cover of
    Carlos Codina's book, many other pubications, and pieces in the
    Smithsonian.
