"Simplicity is the primary measurement recommended for evaluating
alternative designs relative to reduced debugging and modification
time. Simplicity can be enhanced by dividing the system into sepa-
rate pieces in such a way that pieces can be considered, implemented,
fixed and changed with minimal consideration or effect on the other
pieces of the system."
