My point is that the "debt" metaphor is what doesn't work, not the strategy of doing less work upfront. Specifically, having a scoping conversation, or a YAGNI conversation, or a "debt" conversation results in less work being done upfront.
However, if the conversation is one of "debt", then, in my experience, the necessary work is not done later, because there is no organization demanding repayment.
