I'm not against or in favour of speed. History showed us many times that most people don't care about truth and correct solutions, people care about efficiency and moving things fast. Just look at gaming industry and preordering. Agile project management. This is what is called taking risks and making a jump into abbyss before we look what is underneeth. Taking risk is always praised. Question is which jump will be last one and will kill us all?
