What is the problem?

In the Counting and Mining lesson one of the objectives is:

  • Explain Unix’s ‘small pieces, loosely joined’ philosophy.

However, this philosophy is not explained or described in this lesson.

Location of problem (optional)

I think that objective is at least partially addressed in a section with a "bell" symbol on it with the heading "Pipes and Filters."

It's possible that a revision to that set of paragraphs could make the point more explicitly.

I apologize that I cannot help more at this time, but I hope I gave a little assistance to locating a place to start.

In that section, the concept is referred to as "pipes and filters" while we say "small pieces, loosely joined" in the objectives. There isn't anything there that would make the novice learner understand that "pipes and filters" is what "small pieces, loosely joined" means.
