Yes.  But the solution has to be understood as required 
and not gold plating and the customer has to understand the 
difference.  I disagree that a big project has to work that 
way.  No Saturn V ever failed in flight.  A lot of V2s did 
and two Shuttles because in the first case, the technology 
was being invented, and in the second case, the costs got 
cut even as the mission creep did its dirty work to keep 
the project funded.

But you're right. That is my job:  to sit in a crow's nest 
and try to stay alert.  D*mm.

"the web was fielded witlessly" - ach, engineers always want to gold-plate
everything (somewhat like the military) and when something wasn't gold
plated, it's always "film at 11".

I don't think the web could have been fielded in any other way. This is the
way these big projects work. Chaos and problems, and the end result is
always 80/20. The projects that do reach 100 are in museums before the next
gen is out.

I remember the attempts at interactive TV by commercial outfits before the
web. Laughable. I think it needed the moonshine for the web to get a
kickstart. The problems? Hey, that's why you're employed, isn't it?
