This is somewhat off-topic, but I am not going to look into this stuff because, frankly, there's no call for it. Two major problems with advanced anything in IT: 1) business goals basically never require sophisticated software (I am

Why are you arguing some point about cost that I didn't make instead of addressing the points I _did_ make? Incredible that you go through the trouble of building up a straw man when I am standing right here offering an actual argument
