The highest risk in writing code is that the code written will have a negative value; i.e. it will incur more development cost over its lifetime than it will recoup via its intended effects.

Hastily written, poorly justified or reasoned code has a much higher likelihood of having this flaw, so that’s why I would say you are wrong about this.
