The problem, though, is that blaming the person who wrote it wouldn't make the problem go away. Have you considered that keeping that person from writing a confusing CSS file is better in the long run? Have you also thought that cascading is the very thing confusing some developers the first place?

No, because they're Cascading Style Sheets. If you are a web developer who uses BEM and doesn't know what the acronym "CSS" stands for - and, why - it's gonna be a long road.

And, blaming someone doesn't mean you should ignore them. If they can own their mistakes and learn from colleagues, that's a great team member. Who knows... you might actually learn a thing or two from them, as well.

What is your solution to the problem BEM tries to address then? Don't you think specificity hell is a major issue?

Be explicit, not implicit. Avoid @extend.
