If a suitable analogy exists for the importance of a proper design data management system, then it would be my buddy Chad. In college, Chad spent months rebuilding a motorcycle from spare parts. Though not a mechanic by training, he threw himself into the project completely, to the point where housemates began to speculate about his mental well-being.
