Briefly, the system an "agile" team uses to research a domain is orthogonal
to the team's agility. If the domain is physical simulations, then the team
should research pre-existing simulations. Nothing in the Agile literature
mandates this or precludes it.

However, two other important Agile notions are Communication and Courage.
Team members strive to write complete sentences that follow a familiar and
readable structure. And we practice behaving as if we are not afraid of our
target domains - even when we are.
