All this talk of severity, and no talk of "ease of detection" or "ease |

of fixing"... |

Allow me to explain. There are certain not particularly high impact |
| 10 |
issues that can very easily be detected, and with 100% reliability, by |
| 11 |
The Thing About Which We Do Not Talk. Any individual one of these |
| 12 |
doesn't look like such a big deal, but when we're talking a couple of |
| 13 |
hundred instances, all of which can easily be fixed in less overall |
| 14 |
time than it would take to even detect one instance of a particular |
| 15 |
severe problem, it's most definitely worth concentrating on the 'easy' |
| 16 |
issue. |
