The programmers did not talk about memory, network or anything
like that.
They said : "It would take alot of programming effort"
I agree that the real world has constraints and those
constraints are valid reasons for making compromises but not doing
something only because it is hard is not a good reason.
If they had said: "we don't have enough time" or any other
reasons, that would have been fine but not a reason like "It's too much
of a pain".
