A corollary:
any piece falling off of a model will fall into the model where it is
impossible to reach without disassembling at least half of the
constrution.  Shaking the model in an attempt to remove the lost piece
will result in the piece beign lodged in an even harder to reach spot and
may cause other pieces to follow suit.

I also hate it when I'm trying to sweep pieces (on a carpet) into a pile,
and the tiny pieces just jump even further from where I want them.
