Disagreements frequently occurred between two different mech designers. Unless they were raised and educated the same way, it was inevitable for 'creative differences' to occur.
One of the more important challenges of a designer pair was how well they managed to resolve these differences.
When neither side wanted to give ground, it was difficult to come up to a solution that satisfied both.
In this case, Ves deeply desired to incorporate the high-capacity neural interface model into his Larkinson mech.
Actually, he wanted to adopt it for every mech if possible! Compared to more standard neural interfaces, the oddly-legal high-capacity models did not err on the side of safety!
From what he learned from fellow mech designers such as Old Man Terrence and books like the ones in Lady Curver's library, neural interfaces were capable of so much more.
