Now I don't mind this, as it's all chargeable time :-)
Sadly, my pay doesn't related to chargeable time except very, very
indirectly and only partially then.

But the point is that if clients want to know how this stuff works, and for
you to spend time defending your recommendations, that's fine. But
it's their choice, and their money.

Cheers
Martin
