If you try to spear one fish when there’s only one to spear, you’ll get it. But try to spear one fish when there are many, and you’ll get none. When there are many, you use a net, and you’ll get most; only a few will get away. But if you use a net when there’s only one, that one will be the one that gets away.
We need focus for some things, and big sweeps for others. Count the fish, pick the tool.
