The Importance of Word and Paradigm Morphology

David Peterson famously doesn't like more themes. He believes that adhering too much to morphemes is going to bias conlangers into making the kind of language where it's highly agglutinating. If you would prefer to have some multiple exponents and stuff, you can do that in morphemethory. It might be easier to do it in word and paradigm. I don't remember it drawing an actual distinction between inflection and derivation which has been an ongoing theoretical battle for 40 years now.
