I can't wait to watch this. I haven't gotten to do SICP yet but have it checked out and did get to listen to the classes while doing home renovations.

The Sussman quote from the SICP classes about understanding complicated things makes it in to a lot of my presentations (in architecture of all things) and it's the slide that ALWAYS gets people frantically taking a note.

Would you kindly share that quote here?

Until OP delivers (and in case OP does not); I suspect it's the following quote:

> "The key to understanding complicated things is knowing what not to look at, not to compute, not to think" —Sussman.

That's it, and thanks. Somehow I missed the request to post the comment. (facepalm)
