Don't get trapped into thinking DIR has all the answers, or is a better system than all the others out there. Adopting any system means some element of compromise, and DIR is no different. In fact, perhaps more than any system, DIR is ALL about compromise, in that you must accept the fact that the system is not ideal for every scenario, and for each scenario there may be better unique options, but there is value in having a standard in itself you can apply to every situation. For some it is ideal, for others less so, but the value is in it always being the same, familiar, comfortable system |
I was going to reply to Pete's quote but Garf's post is a far better response than I could muster.
Safe diving,
Steve
