complex generalizations are a good practice. You can write lousy
programs in any paradigm. The likelihood increases when you use the
most technically deficient of all the OOPLs. (If those developers had
used Smalltalk, I'll bet their defect rates would have been
substantially lower even if they weren't very good OO developers.)
Pascal. It only claims that the defects found in the C++ program were
more costly to fix. That is a very big difference.
However, I agree completely with the rest of your comments.
