[QUOTE="Crazy Jerome, post: 5751100, member: 54877"] Winston Churchill said something along the lines that you cannot make good compromises until all the people involved know their positions and are willing to state them. I think the same thing about early design with competing claims. Sure, what will sell matters a whole lot. It has to be advanced and considered. But if in the early discussion, people are already compromising what they want because they think it won't sell, or other people don't need it or want it or whatever--then we merely get this big fuzzy mess. It wouldn't hurt to say, "my idea is probably impractible because I can't see it working with the sales plan." But then having established that you aren't a raving loon, tell us the idea in all its ugly glory. :p [/QUOTE]
