>There are a few things that we have learned in the last 60 years about writing programs where there is pretty much universal agreement:

>We agree that it's better to find problems earlier rather than later.

Agreed.

>We agree that people are awful at managing memory in programs.

Nope, manual memory management can be done properly and this is not rocket science.

>We agree that code reviews help find bugs.

Sure, but this is not the only way and not always the most efficient.

>We agree that on any project that requires more than one person, communication costs dominate.

Nope, this is a blatant over-generalization.
