OK, I accept that if we're going to be pedantic (and honestly, being pedantic is one of my favourite hobbies too) then the question would really be "if a typical person thought aerodynamics was important for a lunar lander, why would they be mistaken?"
In fact, one could clarify the question a little for the benefit of somebody who couldn't see why anybody would be so confused as to think that aerodynamics had anything to do with the moon, by saying: "Given that aerodynamics are important for many [though not all] vehicles, what properties of a lunar lander distinguishes it from those other vehicles in such a way as to make aerodynamics irrelevant?"
So ahem, bearing that in mind, given that speed is important in many [though not all] programming tasks, what properties distinguish exploratory programming from those other types of programming in such a way as to make speed irrelevant?
