Not at all. I'm arguing that in computing, worthwhile results often take time to achieve, and therefore that foundations that are likely to be around for longer will improve the chances of achieving such results. Alternatively, from the opposite point of view, the odds of achieving something worthwhile go down significantly if you have only a short time time to achieve it, as inevitably you will if you are building on foundations that aren't themselves going to be around for long (whatever we choose to call them).
