lmfao, rereading this we 100% are in agreement and talking past each other with great zeal. Bare with me here.

First off, I’m not in finance. I used it as an example to point out that systems and considerations in a field outside of anyones experience are usually there for a reason, even if they’re frustrating in the moment because one hasn’t bumped into them yet.

To your point, you are 100% correct, there are tons of regulations and best practices developed over decades meant to minimize impact of edge cases. But it sounds like you’re in the field, and you and I both know that invariably someone will try and solve the problem by solving a different problem sometimes. It’s why project scoping and definition is so important.

I hope you’re having a great day, and that you might reread this and take away the same reminder I do that 2 people can be in strong agreement and still talk past each other.
