Re: Design shift of view

I would think the "battleship" of in-place code and people that understand
it and it's architecture is so great that only a brand new paradigm with
brand new people would have any chance of implementation.  

By that, I don't mean the current people wouldn't be able to make the
shift, just that in their conversations back and forth everything would be
compared to the same old paradigm, just as was done in this thread a few
days ago when punch cards were brought in as a way to explain a concept;
punch cards have been gone for 15+ yeaars at most places.
