Recent episodes have revolved around the reality that making large cuts, by definition, require a chainsaw and not a scalpel.
As Musk says, you find out what is essential to a system by eliminating so much that you have to add at least 5% back in the next iteration. Continual elimination is part of a good design philosophy that achieves increasingly better results.
That philosophy can apply to everything. I've used it on our grocery bill. My wife declared one expensive grocery item as superior, and therefore necessary. I declared that she might be right, but we wouldn't know until a blind taste test was performed. We now purchase the more affordable option, because it proved superior in testing.
Our human nature places outsized importance on avoiding the possible loss of a good thing that we overlook the fact that we can add back the things proven to be valuable.
