Have you taken the Dilbert management course? Because it sure sounds
like something straight out of the comic strip:

   Manager: "I don't know anything about programming, but I want you to
             make it do X."

   Programmer: "X is impossible"

   Manager: "Why do you have such a bad attitide?"

Why do people without knowledge in a particular technical field insist
on arguing about what is and is not possible? Why is that trait
particularly endemic in programming?

Sigh,
Steve
