Ah, OK, thanks... Been a consultant too long. When I say to a client:
"It appears that your business rules may be contributing to significant
process delay, which may have a cost or schedule impact." what I really
mean is "Your people are getting in the way of getting our work done.
Please make them stop or we are going to charge you more."
So naturally I tend to filter out "appears" when I read the words of
others as pure filler without any real value add to the sentence. :-)
And then it comes across as "you're not only over the line, it's more
egregious than most."
