Dual page numbering

[Matt Sullivan]

I score it this way:

Richard: 1 point each for 3 consistent and logic observations

John: 3 points for snapping us back into reality 

What's the applicable quote here? Something like: 
"The reasonable man adjusts to reality, the unreasonable man demands that
reality adjust to him. 
All progress depends on the unreasonable man."

-Matt

Even those who are not cognitively impaired can get frustrated when a unit
has come out of order and it replaced in the wrong spot. In order to keep
the flexibility of removing or re-ordering units, there is no ToC in the
deliverable. I could give one to each teacher for the purpose of getting
things back in order, but absolute page numbers would be quicker and easier.

The bottom line: the customer asked for absolute page numbers, not an
appraisal of his cognitive development  ;-)

But if you already have a Something-3 and a Something Else-3, then the
trainers shouldn't _be_ "having trouble getting on the same page with 24
different page 3s..." -- unless they're cognitively impaired. 

You're being asked to kludge up a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
I'd politely decline. But that's just me...
