Certainly sounds true. And if you're not a good procedural programmer,
you might not even get a good procedural design, since it too requires
extraction of the right concepts at the right moment.

I think it comes down to this: no matter how much you experiment in
the kitchen, if you don't have a good sense of taste, the meals you
prepare won't turn out very well.

The fact that we know more today, and are more capable today,
