in the business/software world, when you buy a product there's always a bunch of people who complain that "the new tool doesn't work for us, because we do things A-B-C and the tool doesn't allow it"
so do you spend a lot of money and energy convincing the vendor to reprogram their product that's supposed to work a wide audience in order to meet your own unique needs, or do you modify your process to fit what they're giving you?
Sounds like DC is doing the latter. Can't reprogram Bryce entirely to fit his plan, so he's modifying his plan to go with what he's been given.
