I love that reading is a constructive process: you can get something out that the author maybe didn't put in. I remember reading a book about organic farming that made a great point: (paraphrasing) As a home organic gardener you might think that you can't compete with a commercial farmer, but... Say you want to make a tomato dish. You want the most succulent tomato with the softest skin. The commercial farmer needs to choose a variety that has a skin though enough to pick mechanically or by rough hands. At home you can go as soft as you want to. You can pick it and cook immediately. The commercial farmer needs to use a variety that can be picked green and ripened. Etc. Different scale, different constraints, different opportunities.
