Why would you start at the bottom of this chart? People seem to do it all the time:
hmmmm... that seems like a good idea. i can whip it up in no time. okay, i guess i should test this. hey it did something! but, hang on i didn't really want it to do that. if i just change this i can get it to do something else. ouch! now the first bit broke, but i might still be able use it to if these conditions hold true. that's still useful isn't it? it could happen right? wait. hang on, what the hell are we trying to do again?
