piet hein on good design

as i work on an essay countering some of paul graham's Conventional Wisdom observations on design, i come across a well known piet hein poem. in my reading, "good design" replaces "wisdom" and resonates.

The road to good design? --- Well, it's plain
and simple to express:
    Err
    and err
    and err again
    but less
    and less
    and less.
