An Actual Work E-mail Conversation
Them: How do you think (the experiment) will turn out?
Me: I won't know that until it gets started
Them: Michael, what do you mean you don't know that until we really get started? May I ask what you don't know?
Me: Well... I'm still waiting to start. I can't predict the outcome until the initial reaction begins. Perhaps I'm not understanding the question fully.
Them: Michael you did understand it fully. No worries. My suggestion is that each one of us analysis, dissects, rips apart, and reassembles each experiment and finds out whether the results changes.
Me: I don't have any results to compare different results to. Nothing has started. Once it has started I can see what happens.
Them: Michael, what do you see as the advantage to wait till then? Our time window is narrowing every day, not to say every hour the experiment is delayed.
Me: I'm not delaying anything, we agreed on starting in an hour, the rest of the time is prep. I can't do anything at the moment.
Them: Perhaps this should be brought up with your manager
Me: Okay, sure.
