Why kick the man downstream who can't put the parts together because the parts really weren't designed properly?

Why kick the man downstream who can't put the parts together

Summary

This quote suggests questioning the action of blaming someone who is unable to solve a problem when the root of the issue lies in the faulty design of the components involved. Instead of criticizing or penalizing the person for their inability to assemble the parts correctly, it encourages examining the quality and design of the parts themselves. Essentially, it encourages moving away from a blame-focused perspective and redirecting attention towards identifying and rectifying the underlying design flaws responsible for the problem.

Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what

Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be. If one asks the whence derives the authority of fundamental ends, since they cannot be stated and justifed merely by reason, one can only answer: they exist in a healthy society as powerful traditions, which act upon the conduct and aspirations and judgements of the individuals; they are there, that is, as something living, without its being necessary to find justification for their existence. They come into being not through demonstration but through revelation, through the medium of powerful personalities. One must not attempt to justify them, but rather to sense their nature simply and clearly.
