Why is this statement more sensible than

	"Development of programs in the Univerity environment
	 is stalled because we are faced with 3 choices (C, C++, Ada)."

or

	"Purchase of computers in the Univerity environment
	 is stalled because we are faced with 3 choices (Digital, Sun, HP)."
	
?

How on earth can being 'faced with choices' stall something?
Wishy-washy.
