Go to Post I think we're doing pretty well . . . but I will never, ever say that "we are ahead of schedule." It's a curse. :D - Éowyn [more]

Nothing to apologize for, I don't think you ticked anyone off. Your comments just brought to mind something that had been bothering me for some time, and I decided to address it. As I said this type of comment is generally well-intentioned, (trying to prevent a team from wasting time on an approach that is destined for failure?) but if not done very carefully, can stifle creativity. I think it is OK to say that a specific design wont work (if you are absolutely sure, and completely understand the design) as long as you can point out alternatives. But making blanket statements about the unworkability of concepts should be avoided.

My 2 cents. (again)
