Its almost as if reality is really complex and pithy slogans are useless for anything other than grandstanding because each situation needs to be appraised on its own terms



Not totally useless, they help the less experienced understand what dimensions they should be thinking about:

- fast vs slow - big investment vs little - strong customer service vs Google-like "for the masses" customer service - focus on customers vs focus on employees

There are no silver bullets and no advice is always right.

But just talking it over can be useful, as opposed to diving in without even thinking.
