The last point underlines Evo’s total systems approach: Do anything
that helps. It is not limited to new software or hardware constuction.

desired improvements—sometimes due to technologists’ delight in
new technologies—and thus he promotes in Evo a preference for
considering the existing system as the base for improvement.
