The illogical nature…
It never sees to amaze me how illogical in nature people are. Take today for example, I was asked to give my technical reasons for not releasing my software until a certain date.
The person in question was positive that my reasons were valid and in fact was genuinely pleased that I was strict and thorough in how I release my software. Yet he was insistent on my changing these methods to something less robust to suit his requirements. (Luckily the person in question does not have any say in the release process, otherwise it would be a bigger concern for me!)
This seems to be human nature, and is not the only recent example I have experienced. It seems totally illogical, to agree with somebody's reasoning and then take a standpoint against that.
I would no doubt expect that I do exactly the same thing at time. I guess it kind of makes life interesting.
