the technical system reigns governs bears sway has been admitted, and remains in

the opulent over the indigent: a sort of partnership tyranny,
in the profit of which is divided in an infinite variety
of unascertainable proportions, is divided between the oppressor
and the contriver of the system, the man of law.
In every system of organization, physical or psychological,
a capital principle of efficiency is simplicity.

simple than the fundamental principle: it consists in mere
inaction: in the forbearing to apply any check to mendacity
in this shape.
