But the check isn’t “easy” if doing it requires you also to implement a highly nontrivial fix.
Imagine that you go to your doctor because you’re worried you have Scary Disease X. He says “I have good news: there’s a really easy test for this. We just take a drop of blood from your finger and put it in this machine and see which of these two lights light up.” That sounds pretty good. ”… Now, before we can do this you’re going to have to eat a purely vegetarian diet for three months, and run a half-marathon every week during that time. And then we’re all set.”
g, we’re getting hung up on a misunderstanding here. I don’t think we disagree about anything. The check is ‘get rid of your alarm clock, see if you can still wake up at the right time’. Nothing else needs doing. If you have a job pressing the world-not-explode button at precisely 9am every morning then you might need to do something ever-so-slightly more complicated to allow for that. But not much more complicated. You know my number, give me a ring if I’m not making sense.
