This cycle seems to repeat endlessly in our industry:

* Early adopter independently comes up with an idea that works well for his/her team.

* Writes an innocent well-written article or book.

* Idea somehow becomes dogmatic. Even for situations that don't make sense.

* After some time, people rebel against dogma because they realize it doesn't make sense for every situation.

* Original idea now considered anti-pattern even though it may still make sense for some people or situations.
