HYB; AIS; Tendencies article

Hey gang,
   
  Did anyone else like the "Designing a Plant" article in this month's Bulletin?  This is one of those articles that has something "different".  This article does a very good job of describing what it is to hybridize, and of making the process seem less overwhelming.  At the risk of insulting the author's/editors... the tone is almost like a book report... which is not a bad thing so much.
   
  I'm particularly interested in this idea of "Tendencies".  I think there might be something to that idea based on my observations of the style charcteristics of flats.  That observation was the result of noticing a single characteristic on Frostico and asking the question..."What other irises look like that?"
   
  Is that how you "real" hybridizers do it?  Just follow the tendencies?
