>Imagine going to a doctor and the doctor saying: "The cure to your illness is eating a big warm turd every morning. I know you will object but turn it into a goal and you'll see its value".
Fyi trivia about your analogy and its coincidence with turd eating... This was recently coined the "bs asymmetry principle": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullshit#Bullshit_asymmetry_pr...
It takes much more effort to disapprove somebody's bad idea than for the crackpot to propose it.
(To be clear, citing that does not mean I think Kent Beck's TCR is bs or a bad idea.)
