You guys all seem to be missing the difference between the value of reducing
your solution and the error of ignoring the complexities of your problem.
I find it's often going out of my way to trace

study of integrable, often linear systems, but it can be accomplished
on non-linear, feed-forwardsystems as well.
Well said...
