Indeed, the pointcut may depend on runtime condition and thus not be statically deterministic. This can be mitigated but not solved by static analysis and IDE support showing which advices ''potentially'' match.

General criticisms are that AOP purports to improve "both modularity and the structure of code", but some counter that it instead undermines these goals and impedes "independent development and understandability of programs".<ref name="steimann">{{Cite journal | doi = 10.1145/1167515.1167514| title = The paradoxical success of aspect-oriented programming| journal = ACM SIGPLAN Notices| volume = 41| issue = 10| pages = 481| year = 2006| last1 = Steimann | first1 = F. | citeseerx = 10.1.1.457.2210}}, ([http://people.dsv.su.se/~johano/ioor/succ_aop.pdf slides] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304060007/http://people.dsv.su.se/~johano/ioor/succ_aop.pdf |date=2016-03-04 }},[http://www.eecs.ucf.edu/~leavens/modular-aop/Discussion.pdf slides 2] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150923234021/http://www.eecs.ucf.edu/~leavens/modular-aop/Discussion.pdf |date=2015-09-23 }}, [http://www.oopsla.org/2006/submission/essays/the_paradoxical_success_of_aspect-oriented_programming.html abstract] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924060711/http://www.oopsla.org/2006/submission/essays/the_paradoxical_success_of_aspect-oriented_programming.html |date=2015-09-24 }}), Friedrich Steimann, Gary T.

Technical criticisms include that the quantification of pointcuts (defining where advices are executed) is "extremely sensitive to changes in the program", which is known as the ''fragile pointcut problem''.<ref name="steimann"/> The problems with pointcuts are deemed intractable: if one replaces the quantification of pointcuts with explicit annotations, one obtains attribute-oriented programming instead, which is simply an explicit subroutine call and suffers the identical problem of scattering that AOP was designed to solve.<ref name="steimann"/>
