2 quick questions
1. Why does a huge request give a shallow answer?
Right: too much at once = it spreads its attention thin and stays on the surface. Break it down, and each part becomes solid.
2. Good reflex facing a big project?
Right: "first do X, then we'll look at Y". Back-and-forth = quality and control.
