#81002 - The 90:10 Rule
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I said:
... too many people seem to find it too inconvenient to actually read the spec - with the result that you cannot now rely ...

As I have previously noted, the effort to drive things when everything goes right amounts to only 10% or so of the effort to handle all the things that could possibly go wrong!

And then there's the extra 20% to cope with all the exceptions due to having to interwork with long-established misinterpretations & downright violations caused by people not bothering to read the specs (properly).
:-(

Yes, 90% + 10% + 20% - that's why projects always overrun!! :-(
