Your article - The Rebirth of the Internet. This presents a security
nightmare. My commercial data on the Internet? On someone else's server
(or whatever)? Everything I do, say and think susceptible to all and
sundry evil-doers around the world? Able to be interrogated and analyzed
by agencies that make history's NKVD, KGB, CIA and Homeland Security
look like your benign and friendly paternal grandfather?

I don't think so!!!

"So... why does your software keep crashing, but your office-building
never falls down?"

You've obviously not dealt with the company that built my last house.

"(And why didn't they have to build it three times, asking you each
time, “is this what you want?”)"

Nor with the couple (expecting their first child) who sign off on the
plans, only to have wife change her mind 15 times during construction
(moving the bathroom and kitchen to the other side of the house, after
the plumbing and gas pipes were laid and the concrete slab poured and
cured). That house cost 2.5 times the original quote and took 3 times
longer to build, because the builder eventually stopped all work once a
week, to ask the wife, "is this what you want?".

In my experience, a lot of software development is very much like
building a house for just such a couple. Users who change their mind
after signing off on (very tight) specs when the deliverables are almost
due. THEN they complain about cost over-runs and late delivery. Sheesh!
