Well, when the programmer was burned too much by incorrect scoping before?

Don't buy generalized statements like "programmers are always underestimate efforts needed", or even, for that matter, "a task always requires all the possible time it might take" (Parkinson's law). There are exceptions from them :) which sometimes, in a good team, look more than laws themselves.

Generalized statements like "Never use a dependency that you could replace with an afternoon of programming." :p

Agree. So this shouldn't be considered a rule. Just a good advice, as many things in programming :) .
