The (false) belief that large, innovative software designs can be completely specified in advance and then painlessly magicked out of the void by the normal efforts of a team of normally talented programmers. In fact, experience has shown repeatedly that good designs arise only from evolutionary, exploratory interaction between one (or at most a small handful of) exceptionally able designer(s) and an active user population  and that the first try at a big new idea is always wrong. Unfortunately, because these truths don&#8217;t fit the planning models beloved of management, they are generally ignored.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/catb.org\/jargon\/html\/S\/scary-devil-monastery.html\">scary devil monastery<\/a>: n.
