It helps, at times, to know what tools are available to help determine a
plan.

If my job is to cut down a tree, knowing I have access to both a chain saw
and a hand saw would allow me more 'time' in my plan, however, knowing I
only have access to a hand saw means my plan will have to allow for more
'time' to cut down the tree. Furthermore, knowing that 'new' tools are/may
be developed that help cut down trees quicker/cleaner/etc., means that my
plan should/could allow for change of the plan itself.

IMHO,
