Yes, but then: "Look at my lovely spacecraft! Which planet is it going
to again?"

In other words, some things have to be prioritised so that the whole
system works as intended. With articles "celebrating" cool hacks, and
the like, it's clear that some people prioritise arguably less
important things (in the context of successful real-world systems)
than others.
