well stated!
I get calls all the time to build trucks for people, one guy came and looked at a truck and said "if you build me one like this, but with this change and that change, I will gladly pay your asking price". I told him the truck he was driving was the only one I had for sale, that I could make small changes to it but I didnt take customers because they frequently had unrealistic expectations on the schedule and the cost. (he was offering essentially the same price for an upgraded drivetrain and suspension, proving my point) they also do a fair amount of changing their mind and are especially good at creeping the scope. I am a contract engineer, and deal with all of that enough.
