Steve Jobs was famous for his "reality distortion zone" - simply not believing that something could not be done.
Early on in a project you need vision and innovation, "fake it 'till you make it".
Get a demo working, even if it only works 20% of the time or covers one use case poorly.

The most defensible practice are at least inherently modular and could be stitched together - really the deception would be highly unnecessary
