WE NEED YOUR HELP MAKING A DECISION.

JEFF DOESN'T UNDERSTAND MY PRODUCT STRATEGY BECAUSE HE ISN'T AN ENGINEER.

AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND ANY OF HIS MARKETING NONSENSE.

THAT'S WHY WE CAME TO YOU.

BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND BOTH MARKETING AND ENGINEERING?

NO, IT'S BECAUSE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND EITHER ONE.

WE DIDN'T HAVE A COIN TO FLIP, AND YOUR DECISIONS ARE TOTALLY RANDOM, SO...

MAYBE YOU COULD DESCRIBE THE SIT - VATION.

I DON'T SEE HOW THAT HELPS.
