I could not agree with you more. I'm trying to formulate data and arguments and I think I actually have the data to prove these points.

I'm working on a series of articles at enlightenedprogramming.com to prove it out.

I'm also working "show you how" solutions because, absent data (and sometimes even with it), I still get people who believe that the industry has never been better, we're in some golden age and there is not a whole to improve on and it just boggles my mind.
