   > Put a retro or "my kingdom for a horse" switch on anything that seems   
   unnecessarily over automated or when the additional sophistication is of a   
   minor advantage.

   > If anything doesn't seem perfect, tap the retro switch and you are back to   
   flying by the seat of your pants or at least something that is less   
   complicated / more proven technology.

   > It may seem counter intuitive but this would actually _further_ automation   
   and sophistication by taking some of the pressure off the designers trying to   
   get every unanticipated situation right the first time.
