As Captain Jack Sparrow would put it: An obviously broken system you can always trust to be broken. It's the slightly broken ones you want to watch out for because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... broken.

@Fast-Nop hum. Probably. But the broken window theory would say that slightly broken leads to obviously broken.
Based on a criminology theory. If a building is perfect crime rate is low. Break one window and crime rates increase and more shit gets broken.
It goes with software. When everything is neat and perfect you feel bad leaving shit code. However of the code already has brolen stuff within it you care less and are more likely to write shit code.
Moral: slightly broken = broken.
Obviously broken is better than slightly broken any day. Slightly broken you always wonder if that is how it always worked. Obviously broken you don’t have that problem.
