alexander's beef is mainly with the notion of preordained, deterministic programming of processes, processes that don't admit any significant amount of information mid-stream; i think he gets confused with traditionalist in that regard because that's how pre 20th century worked

a sorta related beef of his is with profit maximization in building which metes out as cheaping out on materials and labour, which you also couldn't do nearly as efficiently prior to the 20th century
