Oh, it totally is, yeah.

Well, and that's the thing, right?

That's the problem with all these spaces.

The rant that I like to go on is words mean things, and if we don't agree what words mean, then this entire conversation is pointless.

We have to have a baseline of what it is that we're discussing.

And in the hyper-converged market, it's been a lot like the political situation around here.

It's a lot of people talking past each other.

They're talking about different things using the same words, and both sides think that they're right.

At the end of the day...

I think you summarized it best.

Customers who are concerned with outcomes, they tend to lean towards things like hyperconverged because they're buying an outcome.

They don't care how you get there.

They're not interested in having the detailed conversation about how it gets there.

As long as it gets there, that's the thing that they're interested in.

So really leaning in and giving them a platform that can do that, that potentially isn't as limited as the current HCI market, which is why I'm not worried about your concern, Justin.

The HCI market could go poof.

What we're building is something different.

And they may decide to come up with a completely different category when it's all said and done.

Who knows?

I just wanted to say the ghost of HCI.
