I don't understand how an increase, including the implied variability, of CPU internal parallelism and VLIW benefits go together?

I'm talking about a mythical / mystical VLIW architecture. Obviously, older VLIW designs have failed in this regards... but I don't necessarily see "future" VLIW processors making the same mistake.

Perhaps from your perspective, a VLIW architecture that fixes these problems wouldn't necessarily be VLIW anymore. Which... could be true.
