Doesn't the flat line in this context mean that you're at a local minimum, which is where you want to stay? Where being less careful would take more time due to increased number of incidents.
But if not then my original thesis that this is needlessly asking for a pointless argument that costs social capital stands.
Mostly free is not the same thing as free, and the scale of ‘carefulness’ is already completely arbitrary. How much more careful is 6 than 5?
You don’t have to argue about it, because the scale doesn’t represent anything. The only thing to say is, sure, we’ll set the carefulness to 6.
I agree with the original comment, as professionals we can do better than simplified analogies (or at least we should strive to)
Good insight, thanks for that
So goddamned many times. And multiply your 2-10 minute sidebar by the number of people in the room. You just spent over $200 on a wobble in a line.
Plus you’ve usually lost the plot by that point.
"I said the minimum is at 5, but if you want me to trace the line more accurately then let's take a 2 minute break and I'll do that".
