I think all the phrases should have the same "form"... or they should flow easily... for example:
Simplicity is beautiful
Communication is key
They both have the same "form"... but they don't with:
Examples to learn from
Fully dynamic and malleable
etc.
I think we are mixing (or traiting :-) ) different goals... For example, I would change "Fully dynamic..." with something like "Fully dynamic to learn fast"... so maybe we could have:
Simplicity to achieve beauty
Communication to avoid repetition
Fully dynamic to learn fast
so all share the same "form"... and if we want to change the "form" we should do it slowly, connecting them...anyway, an style comment that I think we should have in mind.
Bye,
Hernan.
