Homeopathic Software Engineering
Attempting to save a massive complex software product in the marketplace from a competing equivalent product by adding an insubstantial feature; making an insignificant change touting dramatic improvements based on little or no evidence any such changes will help; often attempted out of fear or in light of another, usually better, option that Executive Leadership will avoid with extreme prejudice because they might be wrong.[1]
Homeopathic practice has been criticized as unethical because it discourages the use of effective treatments,[2] with the World Health Organization warning against using homeopathy to try to treat severe diseases such as HIV and malaria.[3] The continued practice of homeopathy, despite a lack of evidence of efficacy,[4][5][6] has led to it being characterized within the scientific and medical communities as nonsense,[7] quackery,[8][9] and a sham.[10]

After 1847, when regular doctors organized the American Medical Association (AMA), that body led the war on "quackery", especially targeting dissenting medical groups such as homeopaths, who prescribed infinitesimally small doses of medicine. Ironically, even as the AMA attacked all homeopathy as quackery, educated homeopathic physicians were expelling untrained quacks from their ranks.
