Sentado en su oficina, hizo un buen modelo matemático, y nunca se le ocurrió que lo que veía como defectos eran en realidad necesidades. Mira: cuando estaba trabajando en misiles, tratamos con algo llamado 'Saño resonante'. Resonant Yaw significaba que, a pesar de que un misil era solo un poco inestable fuera de la almohadilla, era desesperado. Inevitablemente iba a salir de control, y no podía ser traído de vuelta. Esa es una característica de los sistemas mecánicos. Un pequeño bamboleo puede empeorar hasta que todo el sistema se derrumbe. Pero esos mismos pequeños bamboles son esenciales para un sistema vivo. Significan que el sistema es saludable y receptivo.

(Sitting in his office, he made a nice mathematical model, and it never occurred to him that what he saw as defects were actually necessities. Look: when I was working on missiles, we dealt with something called 'resonant yaw.' Resonant yaw meant that, even though a missile was only slightly unstable off the pad, it was hopeless. It was inevitably going to go out of control, and it couldn't be brought back. That's a feature of mechanical systems. A little wobble can get worse until the whole system collapses. But those same little wobbles are essential to a living system. They mean the system is healthy and responsive.)
