Sorry #1 should have been in the Prequel. I think this makes proposals better 
and does shorten the discussion if it helps make the statement of the problem 
clearer. But it isn't necessary when the problem is already clear. Sometimes 
calling this #1 means people think it is always necessary to have a formal 
discussion in a meeting before writing a proposal.
