Pick a better argument. Sorry, *you* are confused. If both cars are going to the same place, but one takes the scenic route, then the first car will be saying, "Man you are really slow." It doesn't matter if they both drove 60 MPH. All that matters is the real work they get done, and how long it takes. If I was hiring a delivery man I would want the one who takes the direct routes, instead of driving all over town before going where I sent him. _. --Steve ._||__ DISCLAIMER: All opinions are my own.
