No argument at all Don. This was just the easiest thing I could come up with when talking with our procurement group to get the point across to some newer folks. We were talking guide lines when reviewing quotes. Some were 2-3 times more than others, some were 2-3 times faster than others and one was the absolute cheapest and fastest. The newer guy thought it was a no brainer until his boss and I said "Not So Fast".
"Let's ask a few more questions." Just something to make people think!
