That's precisely why we should stop thinking about "good" architecture. At the very best, we'll find the least worse architecture, and that's that. But realistically, just a handful of the real world scenarios we all face fall into this category of "least worse arch is black magic". I'd bet my house than 90% of the architectural problems we faced exist because of a poor process on understanding requirements or poor architectural design. In no small amount due to hese two things being very hard.
