" Tinkers Rule of Transient Perfection"

Every once in a while, I have seen some "gadget" (camera, "O"scope, etc)
that has been implemented in a nearly perfect fashion. I know now
though, that rather than having some (necessarily) minute improvements,
rather, that said state of near perfection will be departed from in the
very next years' model. These companies have whole departments whose
entire work existance revolves around bringing in new models once or
more each year. If a peak of perfection is ever reached, it MUST be left
behind as change moves on. An example of the opposite is (arguably) the
old VW Beatle.

Looking forward:
