While I have nothing against MBAs, this is a typical example of what people call MBAish / corporate BS and why managerial profiles have gained a bad reputation here. It looks smart on the surface but scrutiny exposes non-sense. >Con

I agree with Twisell. The solution is to create a super data-structure so this really is an architecture and abstraction issue - ie. design things in a way such that these structures can be added in an incremental and painless way when th
