Once it's out there and you get data and you think the data tells you that this is great, you don't just say, cool, let's leave it out there and go to the next one.

We're going to make sure that it actually stands the test of time. Finding out of the idea was really important, but If you believe that ideas speak for themselves so much that it can be garbage, you will end up with a collection of garbage and generation of garbage software.
