The sheer number of houses that have additions, bathroom renos, kitchen renos, walls blown out, basements apartment added, second floors added etc. etc. makes their claim ludicrous on the face of it.

In software we are often taking an existing design and modifying for new requirements. The house analogy is excellent for explaining WHY one thing is easy but another is hard.
