Within the Lokad TV channel, this episode about DDMRP is probably the one, so far, that generated the most polarized feedback. On one hand, we got a lot of support. On the other hand, we got heavy criticized by the DDMRP evangelists. The most frustrating part of me is that the critics have been, so far, have only been shallow dismissals, or authority arguments.

Year's later, DDMRP community has still not addressed my top three objections:

• Incorrect baseline: half-backed MRPs can't be a baseline for DDMRP.
• Limited formalism: BOMs are literally applied graph theory, which DDRMP ignores.
• Real-world complexity dismissal: economics are absent from DDMRP.
