What do you think is it that causes the ninety-ninety rule to prove to be true in almost every situation? Is it due to the fact that developers usually handle what they know how to do really well first and leave the rest for 'later'?

That being said, I'm not aware of many professional developers that go by the mentality I suggested there, so what is the root cause of the 90-90 rule? (in your opinion)
