Every edition of Synthesis has been used in hundreds of thousands of cases worldwide. When these steps are taken too quickly, the expanded rubrics bring out differences in too many cases that ultimately lead to confusion. Hastily introduced new information might be incorrect or irrelevant. In other Repertories, new rubrics are often positioned illogically. A stepwise increase in information is the only means to avoid chaos.
Quality increases faster than quantity.
At each step the quality has been improved, especially in the creation of version 5. Compared to version 4, only a few thousand additions have been added, because we focused on increasing the quality, which is the main topic of this report. The maroon line, indicating the increase of quality, shows that there was a real breakthrough at the creation of version 5. Although errors had been corrected on each subsequent version of Synthesis, the decision to print Synthesis caused some extra reflections. If this Repertory was to be printed, it should be done only if we could offer a dramatic increase in the quality of the Repertory, its structure, its language and the consistency of its information.
