I once saw a Commissioner ask someone to describe an item that the two parties were in disagreement over, and the person kind of hmmed and hawed and in the end gave an answer that only vaguely described it.
I remember thinking to myself, now that I still only had a vague idea of the vehicle they were describing, that they should have come up with a better description before coming to court.
If the item is that important, be able to describe it in detail to someone else. And not in a way that means you have to have a specialized knowledge of that item to understand.
We spend all this time describing conversations, events, happenings between the two parties, and then can't even help the Commissioner by describing an item?
Just keep it in mind.
