Which is much better than gnat fever.

Gnat's eyebrow fever is recognized in its victims by a very strong desire to create UML diagrams that are extremely detailed. Not to be confused with comfort zone fever, where detailed modeling is a side effect of emotional factors, afflictees of gnat's eyebrow fever emphatically believe that it is important to model to very low levels of detail because doing so increases the probability that the resulting code will be more correct. Because of variables such as flux in system requirements and dependent design activities occurring in parallel, for example, the time spent on low-level modeling is often better applied to actual implementation.
Clinical research has shown a high affliction rate of gnat's eyebrow fever in those modelers who have not actually participated in coding activities. A theory supporting the research findings suggests that the coding experience is very important to developing a sense of value that provides modelers with insight into what is and what is not valuable to downstream clients of the model.
