Maybe sometime I’ll write a post on why I think the paperclipper is a strawman. The paperclipper can’t compete; it can happen only if a singleton goes bad.
I think everyone who talks about paperclippers is talking about singletons gone bad (rather, started out bad and having reached reflective consistency).
