I used to have fights with my cofounder Dr. Julien about the quality of our technology. We'd set an extremely difficult goal, and his R&D team would meet it, but upon internal user testing, I'd fly into an unfair rage as to why it wasn't good enough for commercialization.

"It WORKS.... We did everything you told us to do", Dr. Julien would argue.

"It works, but it doesn't WORK WELL. How am I supposed to sell this? Have you considered the user experience? The user would never accept this", I'd holler back.

"What does WORK WELL, mean? Give me the specs! By the way, what we gave you is the state of the art in computer vision. What you're asking for has never been done."
