Reminds me of the advice that, if you need to join two mismatched pieces together, you have two options.

1)Add an adapter that’s customized on both ends, or 2) subtract the differences so they mesh directly.

Always look for opportunities to subtract, rather than add. Your system gets easier to understand over time as it becomes the purest representation of itself, instead of a collection of gap-fillers.
