YES! Often it's the case that they A) don't fully understand the problem but B) feel they have the "perfect" solution anyways. "non-techies" will defer to your judgement, "demi-techies" will require bulletproof reasoning for not doing things their way. I hate when that happens. Especially when the reasoning is indeed suboptimal and not by (my) choice or under my control. Peace, Petr
