Requirements Cat: PS1: Reverse Zeno Paradox
<sharmaskarma> how can we build before we know the requirement
<sharmaskarma> KNOW THE REQUIREMENT
<ojas> how can you really know the requirement? it's like reverse zeno's
paradox.... you know you must end up at a requirement (at t1), but when you
start (t0) you have no requirement. there must be some point between t0 and t1
where half of the requirement is known, and between t0 and that point where one
half of one half of the requirement is known, and so on...
<ojas> but not matter how far you go back, you can never start w/ zero
requirement. hence, it's impossible to even get a single requirment defined.
