Why is Linux directory structure laid out so, what is the rationale

/usr/bin

Once upon a time, far far away, in a distant galaxy, the fathers (they of blessed memory) of Unix found great comfort and insight in the $Home/usr/bin, /sbin and /local/sbin directory structure, and over the years many have recognized in it a truly insightful kind of mystical *rightness* that cannot be explained, that cannot be rationalized. You must simply accept and you will learn the secret soon enough. Now shut up and lie down.
