More seriously, what matters depends on outcomes you want. If the metric is "programs work correctly", syntax matters less.

No, I mean that what matters about the tech depends on what matters about the results.

Ok, post-hoc analysis, not picker of outcomes chooses design el'ts. But then do the analysis, not "nothing matters"!
