That reminds me of Jerry Weinberg's principle: whenever you hear the word "should" on a software project, replace it with "isn't".

That goes along with "almost never" which is a synonym for "sometimes" and "maintenance-free" which is a synonym for "throw it out and buy a new one when it breaks".

"Almost never" -> "more often than you would want"
