Who cares what it's likely to produce? It's already produced--all one
has to do is look at it and see whether it's good or bad. The evidence
is available. The "designed by committee" slogan is just a red herring
used for two purposes:
1. To rationalize someone's choice to avoid Ada
2. To distract other people from finding out how good Ada is.
