In math, the limit is the behavior of f(x) when x goes to infinity. In real life, the limit is what happens when you take a certain trait, behavior or trend to extreme. Socialism in the limit is communism, patriotism in the limit can be fascism, [[Assume best intentions in candid environments]] in the limit can become Polyannaism.
Not all things are bad in the limit, you can also think about how your product behaves in the limit to set a vision and [[Begin from the end|work backwards]] from it, but a lot of things do worsen in the limit, which I guess is the point of [[Aristotelian Moderation]].
