Many localisation algorithms are probabilistic, eg. 'you are here within R of X'. A couple of times I've had a manager who could just not accept the probabilistic nature: "It's just right there!" So I to explain my manager that we just cannot do better and know for sure that the robot is really in position X, especially with the limited sensing the project would afford. Sure, you can do the classic AGV thing and add magnetic markers everywhere. Or use more sensors to get higher accuracy, but none of those were popular options.
