I follow the same rule, but not only for speed. Since the context is a quiz,
I'll use that as an example. If you can write a quiz that can be run
entirely from the message window, then you separate the "engine" from the
on-screen interface. Once you have separated the engine from the interface,
you are left with an engine that you can drop an interface onto - one engine
that can be used with any number of different interfaces. I'm not saying
that there is no work in making the interface layer, just that you can
reduce that work significantly if it's simply a matter of supplying basic on
screen elements that call the underlying engine.
2 cents,
