18. The role of the details

A detail is typical not an independent part, but something which is in proportion to other parts. Therefore it becomes wrong to deal with details, independent from seeing them as parts of connections. Without the whole, doesn’t the detail exists, because a detail usually is a part of something more.

To take a detail out of its connections, can be wrong. To take a detail out of its connections, to change its meaning, is deliberate lying.

Details are important. And it is important to look after that someone maybe can lie about details.
