Intervention

I find granularity interesting. How well a system works is dependant on how granular it is. Typically there is optimum limit for granularity. A system too-coarse or too-fine grained, will not give the desired output, in worst cases it may even crash.
To decide granularity, theory and even observations are of limited help. Right size, is a question of instinct, a gut feeling so as to say.

Often, choosing the right granularity is a question of practice, rather than instinct. Skill is different from knowledge.

Agreed "practice" is more appropriate.
