I have a 'slow is fast' mantra and it's definitely something that a lot of people misunderstand, willfully or otherwise.

I've often shrugged it off as the fact that going fast is exhilarating, while the effort of 'making the change easy' starts to sound dangerously like discipline. Perhaps I've downplayed the fact that A->B can sound an awful lot like A & B.
