We define precious as the uniqueness of convenience.

The uniqueness over-inflates the importance of a perceived difference. Convenience minimizes the greater quantity of sameness.

Preciousness magnifies detail and distinction without acknowledging a larger context or environment that surrounds it.

It distracts in its attention to what is not the same over what is.

Focusing on sameness places uniqueness in context and reconnects it to the broader patterns that matter and design constraints that must ultimately be aligned to.
