By coincidence I just read Scott’s book not too long ago and can attest that it contains not a single suggestion that imposing any sort of order on a system is ever a good idea. Quite the opposite, in fact.

There may be lessons for city planners and agriculturalists in the book, but I’m pretty sure there isn’t a single one for software developers.

Au contraire. The world wide web is justified by Scott's book. As is JavaScript and the crazy things we do with it. Worse is Better. Understanding how distributed systems actually work beyond how we wished they work.
