A New Mathematics for Computing - Input Output
The result is that instructions are not only conveyed faster; they’re acted on faster as well, with real-time error correction. There’s no waiting to discover too late that an entire string requires re-sending. In that sense, tree codes could help support the parallel processing needs of multi-core machines. They could also help in the increasingly noisy environments of densely packed chips.

Polymath = user innovation « Jon Udell
The answer is that I needed (and still need) to be reminded that good-enough solutions here now, and familiar to people, often trump great solutions that aren’t here and wouldn’t be familiar if they were.
