creationism
 n.

   The (false) belief that large, innovative software designs can be
   completely specified in advance and then painlessly magicked out of
   the void by the normal efforts of a team of normally talented
   programmers. In fact, experience has shown repeatedly that good
   designs arise only from evolutionary, exploratory interaction between
   one (or at most a small handful of) exceptionally able designer(s) and
   an active user population -- and that the first try at a big new idea
   is always wrong. Unfortunately, because these truths don't fit the
   planning models beloved of {management}, they are generally ignored.
