Re: Mixing metaphors?

[Deborah Hemstreet <dvora -at- tech-challenged -dot- com>]

Wow, a lot of food for thought...

Well, here is the context:

However, increased XXX capacity can be a two-edged sword. On one hand, 
it significantly enables lower cost functionality. But on the other 
hand, the increasing complexity and cost of XXX designs has prevented 
many vendors from using, or taking full advantage of, the capabilities 
of XXX.

MUDDIER and muddier, one hand is good, the other is bad... and if I CUT 
you with a two-edged sword you are more seriously wounded than with a 
single-edged sword...

The client wants this a INFORMAL and UNTECHNICAL as possible (ARGH)!

Thanks

Deborah
