Just for the record, that is not the case. While initial drafts often
begin with a huge number of properties, subsequent revisions tend to
reduce this number, in some cases dramatically.

Having said that, having many properties is not necessarily a bad thing.
For example, would you rather have one 'size' propertuy or a couple --
'height' and 'width' -- to control the dimensions individually?
