[QUOTE="Crazy Jerome, post: 5693327, member: 54877"] If you do that during what is obviously exploratory, then yes your description of what that behavior is will do as well as any other. I was careful not to psychoanalyze anyone, but you are welcome to do so for yourself. It's exactly the same thing as if a couple of auto engineers were looking at a problem with a design, and were batting ideas back and forth--nothing decided yet--and then the sales and marketing guys walked in: "It's gotta be red. People buy red!" "You gotta keep this stylish line here, it drives our whole ad campaign!" "Um, gee guys, we aren't there yet. We are still trying to solve an issue--might not even have a good decision and we might not change anything. Just thinking about it. Color and lines don't matter in this discussion, yet. There will be time for that later, if it even matters." Pause "It's gotta be red!" "Don't even think about taking out those lines!" The obvious response is going to be to lock the sales and marketing mindests out of the room, until they are needed. I'm enjoying the insights into the process [B]before[/B] it is all locked down and hidden, and would like them to continue. By [B]definition[/B], if you want to see, "more of the same," then these articles are not addressed to your concerns. [/QUOTE]
