In a way, GP's post perfectly captures what's going wrong in much of modern software "engineering". Piling on and on more complexity to work around follow-up issues, instead of having the courage to go back and reverse a bad decision.

What I am illustrating is that MILLIONS and MILLIONS$$ of dollars go into the design of these "environments" -- every major Architect on the planet will continue to do such, while claiming to be LEED/GREEN/etc...

Gensler is famous for such.

My job was to ensure proper installation and implementation of said designs in conjunction with all trades (Not the stairs per se...)

But - these types of designs are not going away.

So we can call out all we want, but this stuff is here to stay.
