1. You cannot have everything. (Each solution has advantages and dis have to be tallied and traded off against each other.) 2. You cannot have something for nothing. (One has to pay in one wa something which is offered as a "free gift" into the bargain, notwith= tion's being optimal for the problem.) 3. It is never too late (e.g., to alter a design, to strengthen a structur lapses, or to adjust or even change principles previously employed in creased knowledge and experience). 4. There is no progress without considered risk. (While it is important cient safety, overconservatism can never lead to an understanding tures.) 5. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. (This is in direct connectic vious principle indicating the necessity of tests.) 6. Simplicity is always an advantage, but beware of oversimplification.
