Re^10: Beyond Agile: Subsidiarity as a Team and Software Design Principle

If only you would stop using insults, your posts would be even better, and more people would look forward to reading them.

So to translate, I surrender, chacham :p

Be fair! He didn't surrender; he simply didn't engage.

1. He started with opinion and dogma:

   I disagree with the contention that requirements always change. I see it as a euphemism used to excuse laziness in gathering requirements.

2. And when I responded with challenge and irrefutable evidence.
3. He knee-jerked & prevaricated
4. When that was met with a spoon feeding
5. He responded (typically for his ilk) by attacking the format rather than the content of the message.
6. And when that opinion was further met with authoritative refutation...
7. He attempted assassination by condescension

At no point did he offer evidence in support of his opinion; but he didn't so much surrender, as simply 'shut up'; which was probably wise.
