I can't say that I have a defined TF philosophy, and I agree with most of the of the previous comments. The discussion has prompted some personal review. In an address at Guelph, Tedd Benson stated that his business was not timber framing but a service to improve the life of his clients. That seems to be a well considered role. Most everything I do falls into a one of a kind job, designed to fit needs and budget and I hope the work provides delight. I don't try to foist the unwanted or presume to know how someone else should live. A process of discovery, connection and fullfilled service is my personal target.
