Is it really valid to conclude that software engineering is diseased based on one propagating mistake?

How about based on the fact that the discipline relies on propagating result rather than reproducing them.

It has been said that physicists stand on one another's shoulders. If this is the case, then programmers stand on one another's toes, and software engineers dig each others' graves.

If there is something that your data confirms, you want to reference somebody as a source to be seen fighting this problem.
