I will give you a little analogy of your way of thinking: the boss sends
you out for a selection of donuts and dutifully you head down to Dunkin'
Donuts or where ever. The first thing you notice is that the boss' list
matches the offering at the store identically, only one item they have isn't
on the list - a plain donut. Now, most people will say "give me one of
everything except the plain donut!" But not Fitzy, due to his stubborn
nature he must verbally list each and all the donuts specified in the list,
one by one, to his server. Meanwhile people are waiting in line behind
Fitzy, wondering wtf he doesn't just specify which ones he DOESN'T wan't in
order to save time.
