This is awesome (as well as the ball of mud "paper").
I think the building construction analogy might be similar to a home which has seen multiple remodels.
Now imagine a scenario where you have an absentee owner with a lot of money, a permanently staffed architect and a bunch of extremely able, slightly competitive contractors all on staff - each trying to prove their annual salary.
The original one story building would quickly become an ten story nightmare of a building.
