I love (and will borrow) the phrasing of #8, the future is strangling the present. It's funny that in people management the reverse is usually true (all tactics, no strategy), but in programming folks get so hung up on the supposed perfectability of requirements that they fail to deliver timely value, instead perfecting CYA. CYA may save your job -- no small thing in difficult times -- but it won't deliver the goods for the employer.
