To quote The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (Can you tell I have a Heinlein fixation?)

  'Functional organization. How does one design an electric 
  motor? Would you   attach a bathtub to it, simply because 
  one was available? Would a bouquet of   flowers help? A 
  heap of rocks? No, you would use just those elements 
  necessary   to its purpose and make it no larger than 
  needed--and you would incorporate safety factors.  
  Function controls design.'

Edit* holy formatting issues batman.
