You make some excellent points, but unless I missed it, you left out
one of the biggies. If the type of a variable needs to change during
maintenance at some point, how often does it get renamed everywhere
to reflect the new data type? Answer: almost never. (This making
up statistics thing is fun, eh? :-) )
Long term results of HN are (perhaps unintentionally) software that
lies to the reader as this disease spreads over time.
