Yes. Poly is great if it works for you but it's definitely relationship grad school. The complexity grows exponentially with the number of people and the ways

Yes. Poly is great if it works for you but it's definitely relationship grad school. The complexity grows exponentially with the number of people and the ways in which they are connected. It's not unlike software. To torture an analogy, much of the "toolbox" and the conventions exist to provide standardized interfaces and help to reduce coupling between people/areas that don't need to be coupled.
