Explain how the system works. Explain how the various systems operate, how the costs are calculated, and how they're paid. I want to see the same level of *specificity* that I and others have agreed to provide you in our examples.

Do you have any idea what you're asking for?

More than you can produce apparently.

Quite frankly, I do not have the time (nor the space) to explain to you, in detail, how an entire civilization operates. In fact, any attempt by me to explain such a system would fail, since there are doubtless many innovations which specialists in the respective fields would make, and there are many more which have already been made, which I am not necessarilly aware of.

If you can't explain your system to me in sufficient detail then perhaps it's because you don't understand it. ____________________________________________________________________ Lawyers ask the wrong questions when they don't want the right answers.
