No, it wasn't logically correct. But I do understand that you would come in to defend him. Trust me, he needs all the help he can get. He's total road kill by now.

Eric Stevens
Person A who wants something specific done adds it as a requirement.

Sandman
No, he doesn't. A requirement is something that HAS to be done, not something you WANT to be done.

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

Sandman
Use it in an example.

Person A wants a pizza, so he adds the "requirement" that for person B to visit him, he has to bring along a pizza, or else he's not welcome.

The desire is a pizza The requirement for person B to visit is to bring a pizza

Tony Cooper
And why did he add the requirement? Because he *wanted* that to be a requirement. Back to square one.

No, pizza wasn't a requirement for person A - who was the one who wanted to the pizza. It was a requirement for person B, who did NOT want to buy a pizza.

"A requirement is what you want todo" - Illiterate Tony

The time has passed a long time ago for you to withdraw gracefully from this, so just withdraw while you're way way behind.
