Ah yes Stephen! you would be referring to Doctor Eli Spad's famous Progression Theorum I take it?

Dr Spad rightly theorized that as modellers progress from absolute beginners through intermediate to accomplished to master, the urge to detail and finer finish develops also. However, the number of models finished becomes inverse to the amount of detail added.

He expressed this by means of the following rather elegant equation: MF= (A+S) - (D+ @#@^*&%!)

Professor Edward's First Paradox is also important in this context. Edward stated that the more progress we make in modelling the more skills we achieve. However the more skills we achieve the less progress we make.

Truly elegant you'll agree.

All the Best
