The older/experienced in the industry I get the more I don't believe software engineering research. If it's in a uni- expect for the researchers to be biased towards the practices that are advocated in their academic text books on the subject. If it's an organization: Expect for it to be biased towards what they want for that language (ms for supporting c# for new features or moving people away from old features) --- I saw this in the anti-TDD/unit testing/Testing papers. They're making claims based on a flatten view of development and aren't capturing what happens on the local machine where those are intended. Additoinally they don't consider the externalities about how you approach the code base.
