Software engineering isn't a hard science, it's impossible to be 100% certain in one of these debates. You could be right and I could be wrong.
But I've been doing this for a long time, and that's what everyone says. I've heard this argument at least 100 times when someone is trying to defend their decision to build something overcomplicated. The number of times they ended up actually being justified is so small that I'm very suspicious of this argument.
