Most people misunderstand how to protect a system:
- ineffectively: figure out everything that can go wrong and shield the system against it.
- effectively: ensure the system can recover very fast of most problems with minimal loss.
Think shock absorbers rather than armor.

Sophistry is a primary activity of many "Software Engineers". Productivity and effectiveness are things that are desperately needed in the Software profession.
Hard work and then a bit of polish, but never polish and no hard work.
Everything gets easier with skill.

Is it possible this system design flaw is an extension of
the development process using static batch compilers? Operating systems got time sharing half a century ago, but compilers (outside of, say, Lisp) never got the memo.
We need interactive compilers, not just iterative.

Finns have a nice saying: "perse edellä puuhun". Literally means you are climbing a tree ass first (legs and ass first, arms last). This is how it feels to implement new code if the achitecture is wrong. But people do it anyways to protect the design. Stockholm syndrome.
