Neatly skirting around the point that giving the clients exactly
what they want is aiding and abetting their eventual failure in
some cases. You never seem seem to recognise the responsibility
of a good author to put up a damned fight for what might be a
good thing. You are too ready to encourage authors to do whatever
the customer wants and you think all these ditties about the
world being full of choices equally good (I like blue, he likes
pink) is going to help justify this. Well, it is not going to
help.
