Haha, D sounds like something my grandparents would suggest. 'Just focus on the important stuff, the rest will figure itself out!'

D is a bit concerning. Disregarding the physical capabilities of the device could lead to serious issues down the line.

D) I think we should definitely consider the physical capabilities, skipping that step could be risky

C is definitely not the way to go. Skipping risk analysis is a recipe for disaster, no matter how experienced the team is.

I see both points, but I think skipping risk analysis like option C is too risky. We should at least consider some form of analysis.

I disagree, I believe option B is better. We can prioritize risks based on their relative importance.

I think B is the most reasonable approach. A full risk analysis can be time-consuming, and we need to focus on the most important items given the time constraints.
