in new programs the bugs have not been worked out. It's like a newly designed piece of machinery. The clutch slips or the horse power is sour. New programs are undertaken on a small scale as pilot projects. If they work out, good. Spot the bugs, streamline them and prove them. Only then is it all right to give them out as broad orders.
