I am going to assume this answer is to be taken
litterally, because although you are wont to making
strange, cryptic answers, I have no idea how else to
interpret this one!

If you have actually developed life-critical systems
using code-and-fix, why are you discouraging anyone
from developing them using XP? Are you assuming you are
the only one in the world to have developed
life-critical systems in a way that was less good than
XP would be?

Are you implying that a paper trail is helpful for
developing safety-critical systems?
