      I was just thinking about this the other day when reading the comments on small nuclear reactors and how many organizations, governments and countries can't accomplish anything of significance in a timely, costly or efficient manner.

This idea is closely related to the 80/20 rule, the cost/performance/quality decision triangle, etc.
