Webb's Law of Project Complexity:*
"All good projects go from simple to insanely complex, then back to simple after a required epiphany."*
Corollary to WLPC:* "If the project never gets to the insanely complex stage, it is probably not worth doing."*
Second Corollary to WLPC:* "If the epiphany never comes, the project will likely be an insanely complex failure."
