I hate to say this, guys....but unless I misunderstand something, it wasn't
a writer saying he'd rather write something "consistent and be wrong, than
to have documents that aren't consistent.", but a user saying it....or do I
have this wrong?
We can scream all we want as writers...but that is the perspective of a
user...maybe instead of coming to the conclusion of "what a joke", maybe we
need to find out what would make a user want that?
Or am I missing something?
