There are multiple gulfs of ignorance between geeks and business types, and they don't all go one way. Some of my coworkers and I spent ten minutes trying to decide how to answer a question in an RFI before it dawned on me (thanks to reading an article on HN) that the question was asking whether we would be willing to put source code in escrow. Until that realization, we thought they were asking how geographically distributed the backups of our CVS server were.
