An example of a (highly) controversial statement:
Feel free to drop a (seemingly) controversial statement on this page ...
"In short: I pose a new view on nature. To do so I only need to extend and refresh a forgotten major philosophical idea dating from the mid-20th century. I revive the words paradigm shift. Opening a debate that was in my opinion closed far too early. At the same time I pose that capitalism is just such a paradigm shift. I invite anybody to join the debate."

"Architecture provides the foundation from which systems are built and an architectural model defines the vision on which your architecture is based. The scope of architecture can be that of a single application, of a family of applications, for an organization, or for an infrastructure such as the Internet that is shared by many organizations. Regardless of the scope, my experience is that you can take an agile approach to the modeling, development, and evolution of an architecture."

"I cannot distinguish between good and bad moves. I guess many of you are also slightly or strongly confused. Mostly when choosing a move I follow a simple principle "Let's see what happens". At the same time as we become stronger we formulate for ourselves some heuristic rules that guide us through the game. Go proverbs help but in most cases they are too obscure - just hints, or koans to contemplate. Quite often understanding of any complex notion comes to us when we find a way to reduce them to known principles, reformulate them using basic notions that are familiar to us, notions that we understand. I suggest that everybody interested should generate and discuss and finally dismiss some obscure statements about the game, new proverbs. Then these statements will be exposed to the severe examination by the Wiki bound Go playing community. And have fun."
