Until you factor in one little detail. It's all been engineered, yet
is still entropic. I guess it just goes to show that given a project
where 1 engineer would suffice, 20 won't make it any better. 20 people
may be able to make something faster, but it lacks that human quality,
order and care; it's like why grandma's cookies are so much better.

I'll take grandma's cookies over factory ones any day.
