They asked what would actually change on Monday, which customer problem had been observed, or whether the promised capability existed outside the presentation. The questions were not profound. Their force came from refusing the social invitation to discuss a picture as though the picture were already an operating reality. The room did not lack intelligence; it lacked permission to be ordinary.
