I think Weir did a masterful job of balancing the obstacles. It would have been very easy to ruin the narrative by making things too easy/hard for the protag in my opinion. The mix of minor triumphs and failures along with the major variety kept the suspension of disbelief intact (I don't really care if "the numbers" don't work with regard to actual physics). A wonderful, engaging juggling act.
