Summary

This quote highlights the importance of evaluating a scheme based on its inherent value and practical feasibility.

The second consideration pertains to the ease of implementation, addressing the practical aspects such as resources, logistics, and potential obstacles. By considering both aspects, one can assess the viability and desirability of a scheme.
