    This is *almost* an example of an odd dynamic in the fast-moving technological
    environment we live and work in that I observed a while back on GKD:
    Person 1: Wouldn't it be great if...? or Why don't we...?
    Person 2: You can't do that. or That's not realistic. Reason 1, reason 2, etc.
    Person 3: Say, so&so is doing this already in such&such place.

    In this case the context is admittedly different but it's still along the same
    lines: Thesis, antithesis, and already been done.
