The old woodworker gets a new apprentice for his shop.
He asks the boy to hammer in some nails to start, and goes about his day.
After some time he notices that the same muffled shout keeps coming from the other room.
“Ow. Ow. Ow! Ow.”
He goes back there, and is horrified to see that the apprentice is purposefully hammering his thumb instead of the nails.
“Dear God, my boy,” he says, “why on earth are you aiming at your finger?”
The apprentice says,
“Sometimes I miss.”
It would have been my dad’s 65th birthday last week if he was still with us.
(I remember his jokes well, because he told all of them a hundred times.)
The point of the story is that you can’t optimise for things to go right “as long as you’re lucky”.
That’s not a plan, that’s a hope.

We made WARGAMER and DOLLMAKER to be tough enough to withstand any pain that they will reasonably experience in their lifetime.
If you need to “hope” that your prints don’t fall off a table, you need to be very lucky.
If you need to “hope” that your kid/niece/nephew will not throw those suckers on the floor… well that’s just not realistic. (Speaking from experience.)
Have a beer for my dad this weekend!
