This book, like the earlier editions, is just full of little testable theses the Bill didn't find an opportunity to follow up before sending the pages to the printer. Some could be more easily tested, these days; not sure how many remain unresolved. Perhaps someday I'll sort through those.
For the first time, Bill directly addresses the shortcomings of accepted wisdom. For the first time, he challenges the decision styles of various teams' managements. Great fun.
