I'm not sure I agree; you're suggesting that every application be designed
using exactly the same technique, irrespective of needs, resources, or
simple convenience.

This approach might be sensible for a development group that needs to spin
out applications that all follow a similar form; a contract-development
group exists at my university, and I believe they do use very similar
approaches for all applications.

However, the argument from "cognitive dissonance" seems unsubstantiated
and a little fuzzy.  What if, for instance, you predominantly design small
applications?  Or if you need to prototype applications, which typically
involves a radically different procedure from production-track
applications anyway?
