[IxDA Discuss] Common design mistakes?

[Oleh Kovalchuke]

There is no problem with those statements as long as you explicate them like
so: "I think it will work because [insert reasonable argument here and
record it for future reference]". Incidentally this, not recording the
reasons behind decisions, is one of the most pervasive design mistakes.

Of course those people who have no reasons but plenty of opinions will
quickly come up with a bunch of reasons not to record their opinions.
