Because they won\u2019t \u2026 they\u2019ll do something more brain dead like put a WD MyBook they bought at Costco on their desk and expect their job to copy data back and forth from it to /tmp on the compute node. We have to offer a service that users are willing to pay
for \u2026 we can\u2019t dictate to them the way things WILL be.</div>
