I figured so much. Just taking an extreme position for emphasis.

Easier said than done. This is contrary to what I have been taught.
I have been taught to anticipate change by using a particular technique or
pattern. It places me so far outside of my comfort zone that I think
I am going to miss something. But when I consider implementing
each feature set (story) in this manner I won't miss a thing. I will get
exactly what the client and the team has asked for nothing more.
What will be /missed/ is a bunch of structures that have been included
to anticipate what the client might ask for next.
