''From AdvantagesOfExtremeProgramming:''

Two alternate definitions:

	1 A BOAVSM is a bullet the wielder cannot distinguish from a SilverBullet, because it never failed to kill any lycanthrope encountered. The wielder will leave the actual metallurgical determination up to others.
	1 A BOAVSM is a process that solves problems very well.  It is almost a SilverBullet.  In the real world, of course, there is NoSilverBullet, but we can come close by finding good, solid practices that consistently solve significant problems.

As long as we remember that XP is not to be used in developing any of the following products:

	* a platform for other products (SystemsSoftware)
	* mission critical (safety related) products
	* products requiring a long V & V cycle [AnswerMe: What's that?] ''Validation and Verification (see VerificationVsValidation)''
	* ...

''Why not?  Where has XP been shown to be unsatisfactory in these environments?''

Actually, I think the book even says so.
