Too close to home! This played out for me once at work...

- The <leader> asked why we hadn't done what a competitor did.

- I detailed what we would have to do differently. And of course, mentioned how we consciously decided/agreed NOT to do this thing years before.

- He didn't like the explanation. Just said: "we are smarter than them and should be able to figure it out."

- I (wish I had) said: "apparently, we aren't."
