Just the other day an engineer was telling me that he was adjusting
metrics to better balance load and account for congestion. I was
doing the same last week. As always, it seemed to work quite well.
So it can and is being done. It wasn't enough of a mental effort that
I believe that computers couldn't do it better.
I agree that "make small changes slowly" is good advice.
