Yes. But it's hard to make a point with a circular argument. > > there are worse ways to do things than by passing messages Certainly! We could do a lot worse than messaging.

I agree that this is a problem, and one that shows up repeatedly at many different scales as you indicate. But this is not a problem with messaging, nor one solved by messaging, so I'm having some difficulty understanding why you bring it up in context. I do favor content-centric discovery approaches to the highest levels of decoupling, and interface or duck types for everything else. I'm thinking to make module imports pattern-based (augmented with arbitrary validation guards) for content-centric discovery.
