From then on persons B, C, D etc have to that specific thing.

Use it in an example.

Eric Stevens
I want security on my computer.

I.e. you *desire* security, security isn't required of you. It's something you want. Fine, good use of the word "want" there!

I have set it up so it is requirement that all users have to log in with a password.

I.e. "all users" are required to submit a password, and it's not something they "want".

Now, remember the quote from Andreas:

"A requirement is what you want to do"

And see how it differs from your examples. You're describing the scenario of "My desires may lead to added requirements", which is fine, but Andreas had it on backwards. He's saying "A = B" while you're saying "B ~>A"

From when I did that persons B, C, D etc have to log into my computer with a password if they want to use it.

See how what they WANT to do is "use the computer", not "enter a password".

Desire - Something you want to do. Requirement - Something you have to do.

Sandman
Me neither, and I predicted it as well. He can't handle these things so he has to run away.

Eric Stevens
While you stand there and blather.

He said, while constructing an example that agreed 100% with everything I've said. Ironic.
