You're making a really interesting point. And so in the case of the Honeywell Round, you know, there's a good reason that that's one of the best selling designs in the history of American industrial design. And it is that like there's a one to one correspondence between everything that thermostat does and everything it's showing you an interface. Right.

There's kind of honesty there that I think that is becoming more challenging to deliver when these machines have so much capability wrapped into, like, let's say, a single readout.

all these algorithms and learning settings and all these kinds of things that are built into these very, very almost oversimplified readouts that sort of hide a lot of the complexity and capability of what these machines do. And that's attention, right?

It's like how much do you reveal to the user so that they can adjust things and have it be understood versus how much do you hide so that they can just get to exactly what the thing needs to be doing. And that is like the real challenge of design in the 21st century.

And that's in one of the ways in which I'm optimistic about what this world of technology is bringing to us, right? We're bringing new expectations. You know, look at what's happened to TV companies and how they're being disintermediated, right?
