we need a plan

I probably spent close to one hour today getting a simple Change Request approved by a gatekeeper who makes Heimdall look like a revolving door. I kept insisting that there would be no backout plan, but he insisted back that there must be a backout plan so I put one in, which turned out to be too generic for him. I finally came up with words that sounded technical enough and specific enough to satisfy his non-technical mind. Maybe I should have used the following as the backout plan:

“…Okay, so what you want to do is this: You want to attack at the most vulnerable spot. Come at it from this angle and locate the automatic flip-flop override device here, which in turn will defuse the antigyroscopic preinterface thruster chamber, and the pneumatic centripetal antigravity shield deflectors, then you simply deactivate the axial gyro-presubinertia-photomegatronic oscillator that you see here…”

On the other hand, he might have recognized that quote as being from “Hardware Wars”.
