It just shows how completely subjective it is, and that "technical debt" is becoming an excuse for anything and everything.

I know someone who says all the time that what they want is "The cheapest, fastest (least time to complete), most predictable thing to get something done" and "that if it needs fixing, it can be done when the customer pays for it"

Even green field projects there wind up with significant technical debt in under a year or two.
