There is no relative point of view here. This is simply an egregious educational failure where application developers have failed to understand the underpinnings of how their platform handles processes at a high level. Then again, this is how the industry works, I suppose. You rediscover an old paradigm or basic property of your system that has been abstracted out, present it as new, deliver it in a shiny package and reap the fame. Sorry, I was mostly ticked at how you presented this issue in such an alarmist and "problem-reaction-solution" tone. It's just humorous.
