"A requirement is what you want to do."

Eric Stevens
Of course, that's not quite what he said, is it?

Tony Cooper
Popinjay has ignored context. When you plan a system to do something, your plan includes certain requirements for that system.

It can. It doesn't have to, of course.

Those requirements are put in there because you want to do whatever it is that the requirement provides.

A requirement doesn't provide anything, Andreas. It is something that is a necessary condition for something to occur.

For example, the use of a password might be a requirement in a system of doing something. You only include that requirement if that is what you want to do.

Not at all. You want to use the system, you don't want to use a password. You don't sit down at the system with the purpose to use a password - using a password is a necessary condition you need to fulfill in order to gain access to do what you want to do.

See how you prove over and over how illiterate you are?

S'OK, though. For Popinjay to understand this, he has to actually think about what was said. That's not his strong point.

I knew what was said, and it was as dumb then as it is now when you're trying to defend your stupidity.
