Sorry, I can't believe they would do that. Why would they do that? It makes no sense. Perhaps I misunderstand what you're saying.

Assumptions, assumptions.
I've never seen Amazon's code, but I have worked with people who worked at or went to places like Intel, where you'd probably assume the same. I've seen the code written by these people, and have had some bring me their work laptop to ask for help with the code they've been assigned to work on. I don't have to assume, I know it's as bad as I have described.
The Kindle isn't a device requiring their best and brightest, and I doubt it gets a team any different than an average team anywhere else.
As for my post being hard to read, I specialize in elegant software, not prose.
