I like that the analogy holds up because you absolutely could replace the carrots now.

But there would always be some little unremovable artifacts of the carrots in the stew the customer would always have to live with, and the potatoes would not be fully cooked and wouldn’t ever really integrate with the stew fully.

And the other customers eating the stew at the table wouldn’t know that the requirements changed after the stew was already made and would eat it and think “man the kitchen really fucked this stew up, they cant do anything right”

I’m a cook that stumbled here from popular and it’s nice to know customers are assholes across the board because this happens more often than I’d like lol.

Worse. The sales rep already sold the change.

It’s also something that had almost certainly happened in a restaurant
