There's a lot of passive voice here, so I have no idea who you mean by
this. Attribution would be nice; otherwise, it almost sounds like you're
quoting from scripture. :P
I'd even argue that, depending on the problem domain, it may not be the
best option. See Jon Bentley's "Programming Pearls", chapter 1, for
example:
http://netlib.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/pearls/cto.html
where the basic lesson is that context matters.
