“A glass half full.”
“A glass half empty.”
It may seem impractical but when we’re tackling a problem as a team, it’s useful to start by describing it as though we’re seeing it for the first time.

“A glass of water”
“A glass containing some transparent liquid”
“A transparent cylinder containing a transparent liquid”
How far should we take this? Until everybody sees the same thing.
