So today the Scottster badgered his audience over the binary choice -- should system be tweaked or scrapped and replaced. As usual privileging responses from economists/engineers.
He needs to learn to code. From the programmers he could learn about 'technical debt'. I'm not a know-it-all, I just read about it the other day.

Technical debt
In software development, technical debt is the implied cost of additional rework caused by choosing an easy solution now instead of using a better approach that would take longer. Analogous with monetary debt, if technical debt is not repaid, it can accumulate "interest", making it harder to implement changes. Wikipedia
