The point still stands. The human body still isn't going change. That's why insulin pump can afford to have all kinds of rigorous engineering, while web-facing infrastructure on the other hand needs to be able to quickly adapt to changes.

The only reason we have a web in the first place is because of rigorous engineering. The whole thing was meant to be decentralized, if you're going to purposefully centralize a critical feature you are not going to get away with 'oh we need to quickly adapt to changes so let's abandon rigor'.

That's just irresponsible. In that case we'd be better off without CF. And I don't see CF arguing this, in fact I'm pretty sure that CF would be more than happy to expend the extra cycles so maybe stop attempting to make them look bad?
