right/effective

As Amy Hoy would put it:

Do you want to be right or do you want to be effective.

History is full of failed projects that where “right”. So it will do you no good to be righteous about testing. It’s 25 anniversary of OS/2 so that comes to mind. Don’t forget other like Multics or micro kernel based kernel GNU Hurd.

I’ll let you in on a secret. They were not really better. They only seemed better on the first glance. Kinda like Titanic seemed unsinkable.
