Basically agree. This is a list of systems ideas which are harder than one might initially think, and should be approached seriously, never casually.

That slant-rhymes with "sound good but almost never work" but in detail is completely different. When treated as difficult problems, and committed to accordingly, having them work and work well is a normal result, eminently achievable.
