  1. Hi Joe,

    Requirements are ...

    ... often the things you only really find out once you've about finished the feature.

    ... surprisingly flexible in the face of other constraints.

    ... something everybody thinks they can enumerate.

    ... something most people enumerate exceedingly badly.

    ... not to be confused with what the user actually wants.
