But you will need some kind of data or reasoning to back up your response,
especially if it is deviating from the conventional wisdom, or from
some familiar system.
Especially in this case, it's not a "no" answer that's being sold...
it's "solution a is better than solution b, even though you might
be more familiar with solution b."
