I came to his book after working closely with someone who created a unifying system, documented it, and trained large groups in its use, so that may be why it stood out as a problem. The difference was obvious. 200 principles may be "just" really hard to get through from one perspective, but from a systems standpoint it's really only at square one. Not a judgment on the principles themselves of course. But unfortunately principle-compilers (more like broad describers of phenomena) and model-architects (more like deep designers of interventions) are often two different people entirely.
