I probably didn't express this well enough, but the reason why I was using
the phrasing that I did was to ask Ian and Matthew to think about whether
the work that they were planning on doing is as important as it seemed at
first glance.

Maybe they'll think about it some more and conclude that indeed it is and
I'm wrong.  But it's easy to get caught up in a plan and then to feel
frustrated and treated poorly when that plan is derailed, even though
that's not quite the same as being relatively certain that the work was
important and needed to happen as planned.
