If you were the CEO and your engineer and someone said, "2 minutes of actual work and a lot of waiting around due to the limitations of the hardware", would you interpret that as "2 minutes of engineering time"? Obviously I'm going to spend a lot more time communicating the details of the situation to the CEO of a company that is paying me, than I'm going to spend communicating in a Hacker News comment. But as it turns out, no amount of communication is going to be effective if people don't bother to read past the first opportunity they see to jump in with a correction, even if that means stopping reading mid-sentence.
