Just so we are all clear here: your argument is that more fully correct
approaches should not be considered in the present and future because
less fully correct approaches were implemented in the past? And,
further, that since nothing matching a specific pattern happens to come
to your mind at he moment, such things do not exist? Perhaps dialing
back the rhetoric from 11 and considering feedback as an opportunity to
improve existing code is called for in this case, among others.
