Minor nit-pick if the article's author is on HN:

It's a 'Vicious Cycle' - 'vicious' meaning bad, nasty.

'Viscous' means 'thick' or 'slow-moving', as in 'a viscous liquid like honey'

Yeah, but a "viscous cycle" has... a certain charm. Maybe it describes bureaucracy or something...

Yeah, thanks, silly typo -- fixed.
