If you are going to keep quoting me on that one I'd like to amend it to:
Never underestimate the penny wise pound foolish profit mongering of Nameless corporate oversight & pencil pushing micromanagement, determined to fix all things (even those not broken). Preferably with something new, even if it is untested and must replace something tried and true, because new is good (their idea) and old is bad (not their idea).
In my book I have a rant about why no two car garages are the same. Since its writing, I got to talk to an actual car garage architect and asked him why that was. Apparently it doubles your commission on a project if the plans are original. He also admitted that all the good designs were used up 50 years ago. Now all architects are progressively consigned to diverging farther and farther away from what would be the best design. With no end in sight to the downward spiral, unless we experience a paradigm shift in our economic system where efficiency will once again be favored over originality (here--pointless originality).
I have heard of the expression, "Those that forget the past are doomed to repeat it".
In America we have apparently adopted a new motto: Those that attempt to remember the past and learn from it will be punished. Just give us some new crap, (we'll pay you double).
