...that's why I like the Frost poem ("The Mending Wall") better the Chesterton quote. It typically gets read in a way that makes little sense, but the speaker took down a portion of the wall because the wall wasn't walling anything in or out. But he realizes while taking it down alone the same thing his neighbor knows and refuses to question..."Walls make good neighbors." (they hang out once a year, spending a day wearing themselves out to repair it, but the speaker can only recognize how hard it is to mend the wall, not how much he enjoys that day. Until he works taking the fence down by himself)
No one can truly do what the blog suggests. Humans are far less rational than we like to admit about ourselves. If they realize why the code reviews were originally implemented and change back the usual way of doing things, then the whole process works. Most of the time you gotta take down the wall to realize its real value (or confirm its lack of one)
