To broach an old subject a bit, since I've laid
down all this groundwork <g>, I find a VERY great deal of
popular project management, software "quality" methodology,
and similar hot software topics very much in this category.
I specifically include structured walkthroughs, code reviews,
etc. I have seen them work, BTW, but far (far far) more
often, they are reviews of ill-understood problems by
people ill-prepared to judge what they are reviewing
based on the ill-considered notion you can anticipate
end results with a "careful" design. May I never ever
hear the term "careful design" again from anyone who
can dictate my activities ...

Sorry, an over-lengthy aside on an ancient topic.

rolling on the floor again. All so true. We had a design review the other day and the software team hadn't read the spec. was like a two day baby sitting job showing people where things were documented in the functional spec instead of really do some analysis on the final HW functional spec that we are about to commit to Silicon.....
