I'm not sure I can agree hard enough with this sentence. I always keep this sentence in my back locker too: "If your product isn't architected, don't try and architect your pubs" The problem here is that everyone thinks their product is architected, because "architecture is good", and of course their product is Good. There's a giant pile of false assertions here, but the worst is lack of self-knowledge. And if there is anything S1000D will punish harder than anything else - S1000D is nothing if not punishing - it is self-deception about what exactly a company is shipping to its hapless customers.
