Why conflict? I am not conflicting person. I just trying to make my
point. And i won't kill anyone for it :)

That's sad.. So let us wait couple more decades, before someone else
will do the next step,
and then crowd will start crying "we want to have the same, we want to
have the same".

Perhaps because my boss cares to listen before rejecting, and don't
use a dictator's rule to
force me doing things, just because he thinks this is right thing to do? :)

I knew that there's little sense to discuss these things.
I just thought/had a hope that this discussion is not about
"let's discuss how to repeat what Eliot did in VW, to make Cog a twin
brother of it",
but about a step further from that, because there's always one.
Yeah, maybe i having too idealistic view on that. Exchanging ideas,
listen to each other,
and finally work together to make something real.
No. That's fallacy. We all should listen to what boss says and do what
he says. End of story.

Yeah, let us keep making bikes of any color, as long as they black.

Enjoy.
