# Where the two fight
# - Minimalism and 70’s Retro share no intent, so the contrast has to become the subject rather than something to smooth over.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Minimalism: Missing information is not minimal. Decide priorities before you cut.
# - 70’s Retro: Making everything retro becomes a costume. Keep body text and controls contemporary.
