As an engineer you learn to be very careful about what you say to non engineers.

A trivial example.

What if we make change x?

It’ll make some things harder and some things easier.

One week later.

Why are you having problems? You said doing x would make things easier.

More complicated example.

Define real time.

Just answer the question.

I can’t it’s a bad question. I need to know what you are trying to control.
