The Pareto Principle says
roughly 80% of consequences come from 20% of causes (the “vital few”).
In this context I am suggesting that grokking a handful of principles in any van-related topic is Good Enough for most people and most use cases. There are exceptions, and curious people, and some topics that don't lend themselves to oversimplification.
My plan is to add a Pareto Summary to the top of each article I work on. These thumbnail summaries will be very simple and those who want more info or supporting documentation will read the rest of the article.
