Why is this statement more sensible than
"Development of programs in the Univerity environment
is stalled because we are faced with 3 choices (C, C++, Ada)."
or
"Purchase of computers in the Univerity environment
is stalled because we are faced with 3 choices (Digital, Sun, HP)."
?
How on earth can being 'faced with choices' stall something?
Wishy-washy.
