Look at definitions 4 and 5 for a minute.

Can it be? Is it really that simple? I was on the phone for nearly three hours tonight with a friend of mine discussing a few "miscellaneous" projects we were batting around. One of them being some rather simple but powerful information that everyone in printing should have a basic understanding of. That is, one of those often misunderstood tools that speaks volumes if you understand the language. But the more we thought about it, the more we wondered "is that really it"? Is it really that simple? Quite frankly, yes! "It" is that simple. Have you ever run across one of those? Maybe it is some "inherent knowledge" that should be, but is not, fully realized. Or maybe it is something you've thought about and distilled into a few basic concepts or precepts.

Epiphanies are quite invigorating, they almost compel one into immediate action. Hence this entry into my journal of musings. Now if I could only forget about "it" for a few hours to get some sleep so I can sleep on "it".
