There is always a sense of difficulty and set of issues that were unknown up front. That was the intention of the third group story / process, really. Reality is not smooth, it's difficult and rough at times. That doesn't mean it isn't satisfying - on the contrary, tasks that have a measure of difficulty are often the most rewarding. how much 'fun' would it really be to take a stroll through soft grass when you wanted to go on a hike? how much fun would it be to write the same code - the easy code that you have done already - over and over again? @Evelyn

I get the point you're trying to make, but I don't see the conclusion. All three of the descriptions feel like un-smooth processes, even the one that is supposed to work best.
