In hindsight. ;) To me this sounds like the winner's bias: in hindsight. It is hard to balance a prototype against a "works under all conditions no matter what they are" production-ready solution without growing into a hard to handle monster solution. On the other side I know off quite some overhyped apps, that rest on a overpowered machine, because the specs did not account for one thing: no one cares about the product. Extensibility is the key to balance certain weaknesses in a spec.
