I went to the hardware store and asked for a ladder that didn't have a lowest rung. I walked out disappointed.

  And we must make sure that lowest rung is firmly planted in the mud, right?

  So (for the sake of this story) I'm a bit taller than average, and still growing! It'd be more efficient if the rungs were adjustable. So I went to the hardware store and got a ladder with adjustable rungs. Then I adjusted the lowest rung up to make it a bit higher.

    You still stepped on the lowest rung first, non? No matter how high it was off the ground, it was still the lowest rung and stepped on first. Wouldn't it be better if the ladder didn't have a lowest rung?

      I think the metaphor may have broken down. I am curious though, can you tell me your line of thinking?
