Naw how can you say that? I am reminded of a colleague from Ontario
who was making a presentation in NYC on some kind of construction work
he was doing. One of the audience flatly disbelieved his costs. It
took my colleague some time to figure out that he was not believed
because he had not included a slush fund for things like getting the
electricity connected, telephones connected the elevators held for
moving materials etc.[1.]
