No, it's bang on. The customer needs a Labrador retriever for the fall duck hunt, but if you ask them what they want, you'll get a general sense of water, weeds, fur, four legs and a bill -- you know, like, those, whadayacallem birds you hunt have -- and no matter how carefully you try to clarify things, the best they can actually describe is a platypus. I say that as the builder of many platypii over the years. Customers always come up with a platypus until you show them a Lab -- and it's our job to know what a Lab is in their world.

- angelbob 17y agoSure. We just build way more of them than people need :-)
