Programmers have historically found that they reap greater dividends with speed than they do with knowledge, so they have mainly been going down the speed route. However, if, instead of going down the speed route, the same amount of effort and learning had gone into the knowledge route (e.g. learning how to build large quantities of knowledge in a systematic and maintainable way), it may be that knowledge based programs would now be just as strong as speed based programs. -g
