Tom DeMarco (DFD guru) said that creating DFDs
requires "the negotiating [i.e., political] skills of
Henry Kissenger". When creating DFDs it is not
possible to glad-hand, smile, or be "up" too much.

Actually, I prefer (lots of) Dr Pepper over Kool Aid.

The essential software requirements are rigorously
captured via good logical data flow diagrams.
This is ninty-eight percent (98%) of the required
work in creating functional specs. The other 2% can be
a variety of things.
