- I will certainly withdraw the word, since my belligerence was intended
- to raise the visibility of the issue, not to have people take issue
- with the manner in which it was stated. Looking back, it was probably
- a bad idea, though I note that the first, less outrageous posting of
- this question raised only a single email note to me while the second
- has filled my mailbox nicely (I promise to summarize).
-
- So, everyone please disregard the original note and email to me if you
- think that there is a domain in which MI is both a natural part of a
- domain-specific software architecture and a safe and effective technique
- (e.g., system integration or component debug took *less* time than
- previously).
-
- And apologies to all for the waste of bandwidth.
