Need For Kool Aid When DFDing

[Tony Markos <ajmarkos -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Tom DeMarco (DFD guru) said that creating DFDs
requires "the negotiating [i.e., political] skills of
Henry Kissenger".  When creating DFDs it is not
possible to glad-hand, smile, or be "up" too much.

Actually, I prefer (lots of) Dr Pepper over Kool Aid.

 The essential software requirements are rigorously
 captured via good logical data flow diagrams. 
 This is ninty-eight percent (98%) of the required
work in creating functional specs. The other 2% can be
a variety of things.
