And we've seen examples from other domains where 1% here, 0.5% there adds up to meaningful gains (I'm talking of the marginal gains philosophy of UK cycling, and then Team Sky).

If we write off every "This will only help 1%" then you ignore that in combination the effect is magnified.

Don't know either examples - can you tell us more about UK cycling, and Team Sky?
