We thrive in information--thick worlds because of our marvelous and everyday capacity to select, edit, single out, structure,<br />
highlight, group, pair, merge, harmonize, syn<strong>the</strong>size, focus, organize, condense, reduce, boil down, choose, categorize, catalog,<br />
classify, list, abstract, scan, look into, idealize, isolate, discriminate, distinguish, screen, pigeonhole, pick over, sort, integrate,<br />
blend, inspect, filter, lump, skip, smooth, chunk, average, approximate, cluster, aggregate, outline, summarize, itemize, review,<br />
dip into, flip through, browse, glance into, leaf through, skim, refine, enumerate, glean, synopsize, winnow <strong>the</strong> wheat from <strong>the</strong><br />
chaff and separate <strong>the</strong> sheep from <strong>the</strong> goats.<br />
Thus, I came to <strong>the</strong> conclusion that <strong>the</strong> designer of a new system must not only be <strong>the</strong> implementer and first large--scale user;<br />
<strong>the</strong> designer should also write <strong>the</strong> first user <strong>manual</strong>.<br />
The separation of any of <strong>the</strong>se four components would have hurt T E X significantly. If I had not participated fully in all <strong>the</strong>se<br />
activities, literally hundreds of improvements would never have been made, because I would never have thought of <strong>the</strong>m or<br />
perceived why <strong>the</strong>y were important.<br />
But a system cannot be successful if it is too strongly influenced by a single person. Once <strong>the</strong> initial design is complete and<br />
fairly robust, <strong>the</strong> real test begins as people with many different viewpoints undertake <strong>the</strong>ir own experiments.<br />
