It is natural that earlier phases of a project are redesigned/optimized only after later phases have been completed. -This is often seen in scientific papers, with statements like ``\emph{we [first] tried method [or parameter] X, but Y is used here because it showed to have better precision [or less bias, or etc]}''. +This is often seen in exploratory research papers, with statements like ``\emph{we [first] tried method [or parameter] X, but Y is used here because it gave lower random error}''.

However, because the systems as a whole are rarely complete (see \ref{principle:complete}), their histories are also incomplete. -IPOL fails here because only the final snapshot is published. +IPOL fails here, because only the final snapshot is published. \item \label{principle:scalable}\textbf{Scalability:} A project should be scalable to arbitrarily large and/or complex projects. |
