 *X Obstinate Asymmetric Tiler*
 
 * Designed for wide screens, including multi-head support.
-* Static tiling; you get just three fixed asymmetric tiles and windows never move automatically.

 ### Philosophy
 
 * Asymmetric tiling layouts are more useful than symmetric ones.
-	* A master/stack layout is good, but only if the stack is asymmetric.
-* Static tiling is more useful than dynamic tiling or floating.
-	* Windows moving around without user input is a crime.
+	* A master/stack layout is fine but only if the stack is itself asymmetric.
+* Static tiling is more practical than dynamic tiling or floating.
+	* Windows moving and resizing without user input is bad.
 	* Having a choice of tiling layouts at run time is distracting.
-		* Make the layout choice once at build time and get on with work.
