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

Sandman
Use it in an example.

Eric Stevens
I want security on my computer.

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

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

Sandman
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"

Eric Stevens
You go away and argue with Tony about his definition. You asked me to give an example ilustrating the situation I put forward in Message-ID: <p3jol956vjcke7rn76b8chgmgoqkkahhvo@4ax.com>and that is what I have done.

Sandman
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"

Eric Stevens
That's your interpretation. I think it is the beginning of a cloud of squink.

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.

Sandman
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.

Eric Stevens
Thick or deliberately confusing.
