It is in fact relevant to your claim that it sounds like somebody came up with it as a career advancement technique. Rather than it being part of a decades-long dialog about how to build software.
Anything can be used for politics. But I've met Cockburn a few times. Ditto Fowler and Evans, all of whom have related work in software architecture. They are all people sincerely trying to figure out better ways to build software.
By the way, making spurious accusations is very much a political technique. So bravo you.
Sorry, what truth do you think I should be seeking here? My point was that you were needlessly (and apparently ignorantly) trash-talking a serious contribution to the long, ongoing discussion of software architecture. If you've decided to stop doing that, great.
