A lot of people ask about the bull. But if you take it as a metaphor for status update, it does translate well.
Whether he explains the situation about the bull or not, does not matter, the next action is to have someone pick him up. That's the only thing they can do. The bull story is just extra information.
In the status update, when my devs tell me the new api failed, my role is to check the results and figure out if we need an alternative. The product owner and scrum master do not need to know those results, in fact they can move on to the next status update. The person who can help is informed.
The challenges I face in a daily stand up are:
1. The developer trying to over explain their current situation.
2. The non devs asking questions trying to fully understand a situation that is irrelevant to them. i.e. why is the bull dead.
3. The dev keeping their mouth shut for fear of being interrogated.

- another-dave 3y ago> The non devs asking questions trying to fully understand a situation that is irrelevant to them. i.e. why is the bull dead. That kinda shows that it isn't a good metaphor, because if the bull is irrelevant & dragging people off on a tangent it shouldn't be mentioned at all
