Imagine someone walking up to Maya Angelou, handing her a white eraser marker, and asking her to write you a poem on a white board. She's obviously not going to immediately write you a poem, at least not one thats any good. Is it fair to judge her poem writing abilities by this off the cuff creation?Creators can only do their best creation when they are in their comfortable space. Asking a programmer to write code over the phone will result in substandard quality no matter what.
