Sacrificing one for the other will sometimes, if not often get you neither

I just learned a valuable lesson about this myself, which makes me believe that you are correct.
Long story short, I built a stereo cabinet a few years ago which main function was to look good in the LR which would please my wife. Its function was poor at best. Nothing but a PITA to do anything with the equipment. I always grumbled when having to change anything other than a record. Bottom line is that neither one of us is happy with the arrangement. I am an experienced woodworker with design experience as well. It is built and finished properly, but the thing never has looked correct. There is something missing that I have never been able to put my finger on. It just looks too bulky, even though our room is big with cathedral ceiling. So I've ordered an open rack with her blessing.
But as i pondered the problem it seem to come to me that when one emphasizes either form or function to the detriment of the other, the balance is thrown off and you end up getting neither. This has been my experience.
Life has lots of trials and lots of music to help us through them.
