Management:     How many feet do mice have?
Reply:          Mice have four feet.
M:      Elaborate!
R:      Mice have five appendages, and four of them are feet.
M:      No discussion of fifth appendage!
R:      Mice have five appendages; four of them are feet; one is a tail.
M:      What?  Feet with no legs?
R:      Mice have four legs, four feet, and one tail per unit-mouse.
M:      Confusing -- is that a total of 9 appendages?
R:      Mice have four leg-foot assemblies and one tail assembly per body.
M:      Does not fully discuss the issue!
R:      Each mouse comes equipped with four legs and a tail.  Each leg
        is equipped with a foot at the end opposite the body; the tail
        is not equipped with a foot.
M:      Descriptive?  Yes.  Forceful NO!
R:      Allotment of appendages for mice will be:  Four foot-leg assemblies,
        one tail.  Deviation from this policy is not permitted as it would
        constitute misapportionment of scarce appendage assets.
M:      Too authoritarian; stifles creativity!
R:      Mice have four feet; each foot is attached to a small leg joined
        integrally with the overall mouse structural sub-system.  Also
        attached to the mouse sub-system is a thin tail, non-functional and
        ornamental in nature.
M:      Too verbose/scientific.  Answer the question!
R:      Mice have four feet.
