And what could be a more internally consistent approach to software development
than a waterfall process driven by command and control? The problem, of

They have internally consistent belief systems. I should know, I
have a close in-law listed on this page:

And he's not the only one, among my close relatives. ;->
(No, I don't think I inherited it. *I* am a skeptic. ;-)
Plus, I'm sure we have some Christians on this list. And the
church, particularly the Catholic Church, has a history of resisting
scientific knowledge -- fiercely at times.
