I am laughing out loud.
That was simply hilarious!
Well done.
As a marketing manager I would often hear clients request a new feature. I would then ask them, “If you had this feature tomorrow, how much time would it save you on a one year project: one minute, one hour, one day, one week?”
Mostly I heard replies like, “Uh, we don’t know if it will save any time, we just wanted the tool to look like our last tool.”
I know a company where the engineering dept is run by marketing. It’s a nightmare. Product requirements are never stable, always changing on the whim of marketing and the customer (who always want a shinier “rock”).
