prolly inaccurate, no-one gets things right 1st time, we most likely
have a solution that is now far better than that, similarly we are now
probably aware of the various limitations of the current approach, and
various next steps / future development to do.
The problem is that there is a very large difference between conceiving
an idea and writing it down as prose (with pictures); you can conceive
of things almost instantly, writing a general document for an uncertain
audience is very time consuming.
Conceiving an idea can be very easy. But too often - and I don't have
any particular event nor person in mind, seriously - an easy idea turns
out to be less consistent, less good, once the idea-owners is forced to
write it down, to make it clear...
The original 'instance' of the quickstarter ánd the new one, would have
been better if specs were written.
