I accidentally upvoted this trite comment, but Ian Sommerville has earned the right to pen an "X Considered Harmful" article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Sommerville_(academic)

Ok, sure, we have all avoided his works because they're a pain to read, but he is someone you would expect to get along with the ACM as they needlessly peddled his and his peers' "methodologies".

[Edit: Seriously, in the last few days I had to step in an introduce no less than Matt Welsh and Rob Pike to HN, now Sommerville. HN's aversion to book-learnin' is surely paying off.]

three lines of not-equal signs != meaningful comment

downvote parent == thanks!

1. Annoying things are harmful in the long run when you can't fix them.

2. There is really no need for constructive criticism when someone does something that is very clearly wrong.

3. Titles aren't content, duh.
