It's a safe bet that if you can't articulate the position you're arguing against, you don't understand it well. That could mean it's such a crazily dumb idea that you would never have thought of it, but it could also mean that they're much smarter than you.
For what it's worth, I have no idea what their plan is, either.
- tygorius 15y agoHere's the thing, if you have no idea what their plan is, is it your fault for not understanding it or their fault for not articulating it well? I submit the pgbot scenario provides a third alternative: people can't understand their plan because it makes no freaking business sense. And whatever that original plan was, I'd bet the pitch didn't include a PowerPoint slide point along the lines of "Two months after we go public, the president leaves and sales really take off!"
