In one of those web pages I've been working on, I'm trying to list 
the core principles summarized as "Hogarthian".  So far, I have:

  - Keep it simple
  - Keep it clean
  - Less is best
  - The diver is the most important piece of dive gear
  - Design a system, not just components
  - Don't compromise safety for convenience

The top three I've read elsewhere in their exact form (the first
and third are pretty much the same, so I may drop one or make it
an "a.k.a.").  The fourth is a quote (or maybe a paraphrase) of 
something George says in the Doing It Right video.  The others are 
apparent, but I can't recall hearing a succinct wording for them.  
We've also all heard rule #1, "don't dive with strokes", but I'm 
not sure whether it is best to include that in this list or just 
as a separate but related concept.  I think of rule #1 as an 
extension of the "most important dive gear" concept, or perhaps 
vice versa, but I'm eager to hear how others would go about 
categorizing these ideas.

Any suggestions on how to improve the wording?  Anything omitted?
Should there be a particular order of presentation?

As I write this, the page where this list appears is not complete,
but if you want to see the list in a rough and evolving context the 
URL is http://www.infinet.com/~toddl/caverig/overview.html
