How often have you had to change your Layout, your db organization, or your business logic because the client had “forgotten a tiny detail”. Which obviously is not tiny, and in a lot of cases creates a lot of cascading changes to your application.

I can only say that this is stupidity. It can’t be laziness. We could say that we are being lazy now, and don’t want to change our habits.  But in the long run, laziness  would tell us that we made the wrong choice.

Please,
