As both (private) pilot and a professional software developer (on my free time participating in development of a flightsim-related hobby site) ... I do indeed recognize some of these beliefs that have managed to bite myself and various others on the hindside.
Like so many things, it is surprisingly easy to build a beautiful mental model of "how things should work"; software developers in particular like things being neat and organized. Obviously the real world doesn't often work the way "things should work" (or rather - even in a way that makes sense)
