Re: [STDS-754] 1.8.0 clause 5.12 vs 5.4.3
What makes sense to one party is not what makes sense to another. That's
why a compromise is often necessary. ...
Only if one or both are being irrational! Note that I am distinguishing
"makes sense" from "is the right decision".
I am prepared to accept someone else's idea of desirability, provided
that it is rational and consistent enough to work with (i.e. "makes
sense"), whether I think it is the right way to proceed or not. What
I object to is proposals that are irrational and inconsistent, even
using their authors' own criteria of desirability (i.e. "make no kind
of sense").
