Bluntly, I think this just highlights why software engineering is not a serious engineering discipline. There are some exceptions, like safety-critical systems, but on the whole, software is not designed and developed with a rigor comparable to physical sciences.

Several of the people I met who were especially guilty of this in software sector had a PhD in mathematics and used to work in academic institutions. I think intellectual integrity has been on the decline overall.
