- 2"Present it as neutrally as you can" .. quite. I would go further than NeilS and suggest, as they say, you need to swap "anger for talk". Just instantly and openly say (for example, in the specific example at hand), "Steve, your corner case is non-physical with the current mechanical design, don't you think dude? Let's first decide on whether it's non-physical, and even if it is whether it's worth spending two days on."Fattie– Fattie2017-02-05 13:27:46 +00:00Commented Feb 5, 2017 at 13:27
- 1"If you are using a review tool" is a key observation. IME, these tools are adequate for keeping a record of the review, but the real work gets done face-to-face with discussion. It's the most efficient way for a two-way flow of information. If you disagree with a review, have that disagreement constructively in person, and only then enter the agreed outcome into the tool.Toby Speight– Toby Speight2017-02-06 10:56:21 +00:00Commented Feb 6, 2017 at 10:56
- @TobySpeight: I agree and tried to incorporate that into the answer.Neil Slater– Neil Slater2017-02-06 11:24:37 +00:00Commented Feb 6, 2017 at 11:24
- 12 hours is more what I would not fight. 2 days and I'm not going to be able to finish all of the other tasks I've committed to for the week.Matthew Read– Matthew Read2017-02-06 23:43:06 +00:00Commented Feb 6, 2017 at 23:43

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
