Thanks, I now understand what you were trying to say. Having understood it, though, I don't agree that programming is completely different from any other field or, as you say, a mirror that's totally new to our species. AFAICS, the issues you describe happen in programming only when you have multiple stakeholders and are a function of stakeholder group size (and the inevitable, consequent politics and miscommunication) rather than any fundamental features of programming as such. And the same issues also crop up in any other field where there are many people who are all making mutually incompatible requirements of a given solution (architecture or product design come to mind as examples).
