Sure. For that particular argument, yes.

It's cool to know the context of that argument, and that case is very clear cut for you. So knowing your context and knowing exactly what kind of argument you're talking about, yes, it isn't applicable.

In the context of 'should the GUI have a menu item labeled 'Delete Implementation Data' or 'Reset Project Status'. Or 'Should we put in a Source Control System'? It *is* entirely a matter of perspective.

Your conversation and my conversations are different conversations about different things.

Also, from what you originally wrote, it seems that I did misrepresent the book, as it's actually about the fact that 95% of all conversation do end up about being what's wrong or right, and the question simply is, "Is that where you really want it to be?" Sometimes the answer is yes. I just fine that, usually, it isn't nearly as useful as other conversations I could be having.

And in your case, it clearly is yes. But 95% of my conversations aren't about things that are that clear
