*Why asking “Why” is important*
*TL;DR – Unlimited imagined possibilities need to operate in limited
physical reality. People are funny, you don’t need an expert, you need
Gandalf.*
Enjoy the comedy sketch.

*Just an observation* – Amazing how many *”Ask the expert”* questions are
really *”Rubber stamp my idea”* or *”Don’t use your expertise”*.
Had a query about disabling a product feature, without the reason why. Much
conversation was had from an expert panel, about what was and was not
possible/could be hacked/could be tweaked, none ideal.
For me, that lack of a list *ideal options*, talk less a solution for this
specific issue, is usually a *red-flag* and requires adding user motivation
to the deduction equation.
I asked why and it turned out, the real reason was to not enough money to
buy the required hardware.
Made me think of this scenario: Someone asks a car mechanic “How do I drive
my current 4 wheel car with only 3 wheels fitted?”
(Without stating that the motivation for the question is:
1. User *does not have a 4th wheel* because they *can’t afford* to buy one
– key motivation.
and
2. User *expects* to have exact same experience from using 3 wheels as they
would have using 4 wheels)
Transparent can be red or blue. Check out your sunglasses…
RED can be drawn with GREEN ink. Refer to Doppler Effect.
7 lines may be orthogonal. Refer to multidimentional spaces and projections.
Must admit though that the answer “Yes, we can, but it will cost more and
involve more manhours” was a far more common response on all the projects
that I worked on.
I can do absolutely anything!
You don’t have such problems when you need to draw a circle…
Even if someone wants you to draw 7 strictly perpendicular circles :D

When watching this It wasn’t clear,
Should I laugh or should I cry?
I’m sure we’ve all felt this at some point!

I’m sure I have shared this before, but it is just too funny not to share
again.
“What’s stopping us?”
“Geometry…”
“Just ignore it!”
Must admit though that the answer “Yes, we can, but it will cost more and
involve more manhours” was a far more common response on all the projects
that I worked on.
je to tak :-)
I just had a cold shiver watching this as I had horrible flashbacks of so
many company meetings with various employers.
(More notably PRG Schultz).
Thanks +Ralph MacGregor for sharing.
+Matthew Strain Happy Birthday!

When the time passed by, I’ve learned to appreciate this video more and
more.
I’ve been in this meeting. Too many times. (via +Jon Roder )
The Expert (Short Comedy Sketch)
An awesome satire of so many meetings I have endured. A little long but
well worth the time.
