Credit goes to David Gelernter, Yale professor of computer science
and victim of the Unabomber, from his book, "Machine Beauty."
Another excerpt:
When something works well, you can feel it; there is a sense of
rightness about it. We call that rightness beauty, and it ought to be the
single most important element of design.
To which I would add . . . and of everything else.
Gelernter brings the MOQ to hi-tech.
