It's a big idea and big ideas take more than one exposure to understand.
Each exposure to the idea should be from a slightly different angle but
not so different the it looks like a different idea. think three blind men
and an elephant joke as compared to the facites of a diamond.

jeff rulifson's gave a pseudo example which helped to pin down the parts
