The problem, in a nutshell, with just about everything in the field of Computer Science today. See: George Santayana.
- dexen 15y agoGreat pointer, thanks! I don't have problem with doing a full circle -- actually, that's a good thing once in a while. Cue Apple using BSD and GNU for MacOS X. I take issue with not considering what reasons got us where we are to-day, and what issues we bring back from the past. State of art (previous research and application work) should be laid out. Pros and cons have to be listed explicitly, or at least referenced. Weighted one against the other. I'd call that ``matter of scientific integrity'', if we were talking about Computer Science ;-)
