As it turned out after writing this mail, it is also a contribution to

I must admit that I was sceptical about what is going to come, when I read
about pushing. I thought, what will come in the description of pulling? In
my understanding, only pulling is very close to "survival of the fittest",
you usually lose the slow ones.
And then, here under 2. it was: the guide has to take care of the pace of
the group. If fact the guide let himself be guided by the slow ones.
Now I thought about a team as a guide, what qualities need such a team to
incorporate? Those, who know or are good in finding the right track, those
who are able to transfer the necessary information and - SURPISE - the
slowest one.
I have to digest this one... the slowest as part of the guiding team.
This is a revolution of my world view. But as I think about it, this is an
inevitable necessity for the sake of the pace of the whole.
At de Lange, take this one as a contribution to your "Essentiality -
"quantity-limit" (spareness) LO20346". It is the slowest part, or the
weakest link or however you want to call it, where guiding and learning
falls into one as a prerequisite of any further improvement, including
emergences. I think, with this, I got the essence of your essentiality
"quantity-limit". Please add, if I am missing something.
(Again this mail is an example for learning by writing.)
