   On the "software crisis":   
   << [...] just there is an essential distinction to make, between   
   proper and improper software production, with the vast majority of   
   the software endeavours nowadays belonging to the latter category.   
   Then, and just to begin with, the very shape of the industry-specific   
   performance surveys would change... In fact, I would claim that proper   
   software developers (and, scaling up, proper software production units)   
   do, already today, consistently provide near to optimal results, all   
   environmental circumstances considered! >>
