Just to add to your response, I think absurd questions are totally OK. It's a fact of a life that non-experts will need to talk to experts, and when that inevitably happens it's best if (a) the non-experts aren't scared of asking potentially absurd questions and (b) the experts can translate their thinking into non-expert language. Both (a) and (b) are necessary for great communication.
- mikestew 13y agoGenerally speaking, I have no problem with absurd questions. Ask away. But if you're sitting on the other side of the table just waiting to hear what you want to hear, ignoring all else, and continuing to ask the same questions, then you're not doing your part on the "great communication" thing. That's my take on what the video is trying to get across. Too bad cnet editorialized the title, and incorrectly so, IMO.
- wglb 13y agoI agree with the absurd question point. However, I have been in a room much like that and the part of it that is indigestible are the absurd questions in the form of a demand for action, disregarding the fact that green lines are not red, for example. "So we can do this, right?"
