Actually, I'd say this argument extends only to desirable methodology, or else I'm a huge hypocrite. :) Even if I'm doing a small, crappy, doomed-to-short-life-and-no-maintenance app, I try to use the appropriate methodology for the application, because I've done small, crappy, DTSLANM apps before that have now lived for over a decade. I'd say, more clearly, "do things right for the domain you're in, and don't use shortcuts just because you CAN." >This approach might be sensible for a development group that needs to spin >out applications that all follow a similar form; a contract-development >group exists at my university, and I believe they do use very similar >approaches for all applications. > >However, the argument from "cognitive dissonance" seems unsubstantiated >and a little fuzzy.

If there's no dissonance, go for it - but I'd say using methodology that minimizes reuse isn't the best idea either. >-- >Shawn Bayern >"JSTL in Action" http://www.jstlbook.com I need to buy this book sometime, so I'll know what my own EG generated. :) :) :) ----------------------------------------------- Joseph B.
