Re: What is the technical difference between the word "IDENTIFY" and "DETERMINE"?

I am so glad and thankful to the TC 176 for the remarkable job in clarifying the ISO 9001 requirements. So, we no longer have those situations, common pre-2008, when we needed a dozen experts trying to convince another one he was mistaken; many times to no avail. With the clarity provided, we no longer get confused, have dueling opinions and the organizations implementing the standard no longer need expert advice....
We don't?

No, we don't.

And the cheque is in the mail, pigs are flying all over the place, and world peace arrives tomorrow.

You seem to have overlooked the 'heavy dose of sarcasm' icon, as Jim Wynne points out.

Is it not the case that however good a job someone does there is always someone from outside the fold who thinks they could have done a better job? Or, put it another way, the problem is never with us, it's always them.

On a more general point I have seen this over the years at the cove - there is always someone prepared to argue black is white (or vice versa) - normally despite evidence to the contrary.

.........there is always someone prepared to argue black is white (or vice versa) - normally despite evidence to the contrary.
Contrary to it, there are always a few prepared to (mis)argue that a 'Black & White' isn't infact 'Black & White' but a mixture of varied colours which no one except a few, can see.

What's that ?
