Simple. The changes to specs begin to slow down in some cases
to
imperceptible, looks like rigor, motion. The dependencies among
the
small components slow the evolution of each component. Specs
and
standards are not API-enabled software, so that comparison
doesn't work. They are contracts and if visibility into each is
required
by the
others, encapsulation breaks.
This
is why it is problematic to declare minimal victories. To get
progress after that, one ends up having to start a new and different
fight
under an assumed name. So now not only spaghetti, but
cold
spaghetti.
Complexity is perceptual. That is why architecture is not an
experimental artform.
