One other big problem with the watchdog that makes me cringe is when
people use it to solve problems they don't understand.  It becomes a
crutch, and they'll say, "Well, we haven't figured out the issue, but
the watchdog catches it in time, and according to testing we still
meet the project requirements, so..."

But it's a tool, and like a hammer it can be used appropriately or
inappropriately.
