But I do like the awareness among engineers and other practical people that any idea can be executed badly, many flawed ideas can be executed well, many good ideas resist successful execution for a long time, and many good-seeming ideas resist successful execution indefinitely. It's an everyday reality for some people, but to others it's a bizarre, suspicious-sounding line of reasoning, most likely invented to avoid doing the <all caps> obviously right thing </all caps>.
