For example, making requests to reorder the prompts on a working entry
screen, so it matches the customer's workflow, elicit disbelief and outright
laughter. The programmers can't understand why you would take something that
works and change it solely for the convenience of the end user.
I hope all my clients' competitors outsource. :)
