Equivocate: To avoid making an explicit statement. See Synonyms at "lie".

Mark Baker wisely points out...

There are, of course, a very large number of automated solutions to a particular problem.

...if you don’t feel disdain towards a lot (97%?) of these solutions, then you simply don’t understand what it means to be a software architect.

There is too much equivocation in our field. It's hard enough building software when you've got good tools at hand.
