Subject: Re: Redundant Equipment and Hogarthian
Using the minimum required, and all of the required equipment is hardly an
invention of DIR.  It is a principle that is applicable to activities as diverse
as programming and warfare.

My point is that even G3 has stated the need for (minor) variations within DIR
to accomodate different environments.
