This article illustrates what's wrong with "enterprise" type software: HiPPO rules in that context, and it costs too much to do testing to validate any design choices. In fact, most "enterprise" development managers believe that software is fractally buggy (any piece of the whole has an infinite number of bugs) and so if something is in production, they will not change it unless forced to do so at virtual gunpoint.
