if a play that might win or lose your game is hinging on you being able to use a piece of software to do something, your quality requirement will be just as high regardless of your age... that would be like saying that a young trader might care less about a bug in their trading software that lost them $$$ compared an older trader...

Fair point if the problems are just crashes, but I wouldn't be surprised if Belichick was getting that frustrated over much more minor things at a time when the game is not on the line. In my experience many older people have extremely low tolerance for usage of technology not going perfectly.

For example, I could picture BB chucking the tablet from something like a slight lag when navigating menus or even just dissonance between how the app works and how he expects it to work (regardless whether or not poor design is to blame).

There's a maximum of 40 seconds in between plays.. add in the time for players getting up from a pile, and then the time for them to run to their positions on the line, he's got maybe 25 seconds where this thing absolutely has to work. It's not a matter of being impatient if it's flaky for 10 seconds.

It's not a question of impatience at lag. This is a real-time application. Would you expect a race car driver or fighter pilot to use a system that doesn't respond in in time?

Sounds more like Larry Ellison and a home automation controller.
