RE: one vs 1

I totally agree, but when dealing with marketing people, one often feels
that the symbiosis is parasitic rather than mutalistic. ;-)

I just love this list's binary application of venom around marketing.
Yes, they use buzzwords like crazy and innocently ask for the
impossible. I'm sure they look at us and wonder how tech writers can
be so damn rigid in how we work, or why everything we do takes all
that unbearable planning! ;)

In the end, it's symbiotic relationship. We help build products that
they then market to the masses, which sales then offloads in exchange
for money that goes back into all of our pockets for a job well done.
