What can I say:
* I sometimes make english writing mistakes...
* how quick is management on deciding that a project "has failed", 
and how many serious projects do you know that never reached a point 
that things weren't going all that well. Failure does not have to be 
a technical thing either.

So it should have been "if", but "when" may not be too far off.

I'd not try Clean for the main course just yet, but as an appetizer 
it may be nice.
