I compare this to two global software teams, 1 in country x the other in country y, who both have the identical charter to massage bits and bytes into a certain shape. Team 1 believes in "The Best Function" approach, and team 2 believes in "The Goodest Function Ever" approach. They've reached an impasse, and the company ends up paying for both. The paper reads as a recommendation that Team 1 and 2 "should just compromise". Great idea, but difficult in practice.
