Right, but my point is, I don't have to know what function "foo" does when you call it, or how it's implemented. The problem being solved is "how do I call foo at random intervals", and that is an easily solved problem.

It's like saying "I've got a box of pie recipes, and I want to bake a random pie." You don't have to know anything about baking to dump a bunch of recipe cards on the floor and pick one at random: the instructions on the card are irrelevant.

But to be clear, none of this is meant to insult the staff or say they can't solve easy technical problems. My entire point is, maybe there's something more than the easy technical problem that they're worrying about.
