The point I was trying to make is that in the Real World (TM) a full analysis of the problem is not possible because by the time you finish it is out of date. Hence we need a way of creating systems that are able to absorb the changes that will always occur. Of course, spending some time learning about the system is necessary, but thick tomes full of minutae are largely a waste of time and trees.
