I enjoyed reading this list, finding myself saying "Yes!", "YESSSS!" and "Well, no...". For instance... a pen is indeed useful, but I have found a mechanical pencil to be even better. Another example: Space is now accepted as a formal 'Domain', alongside Maritime, Land, Air, Cyberpace and, dare I say it, Information Space. But those who must understand, exploit and explain Space can only very rarely "Experience the environments you may be forced to fight in someday" in the same way sailors, soldiers, airmen and even cyber gurus can do for their areas of expertise. So Space 'guardians' (or whatever we call them) have to get under the skin of their Domain in different ways. "Pluck what's useful, discard what's not"? No. It's always useful to know what others find useful. At least I now know who to ask when the only way to discover what's in that socket is to ask for your willing fingers. Even though writing straight away afterwards might be tricky, I bet you'll manage it.
