Yup! And the converse—get too much of a gap and the wheel falls right off! I love McLuhan's bit in the chapter in UM about money (the poor man's credit card) about how all transactions are a reciprocal and cyclical process of grasping and letting go, derived from our ancestors swinging from trees. Loosen, tighten, loosen, tighten.
it's a need for a less abrasive
encounter, and a little more
space between the wheel and
the axle.
when the wheel and the axle
get too close together they
lose that playfulness.
there's no play in it left.
so they have to have a bit of
oil, a bit of distancing from
each other and so on.
