I was just reminded of an "implicit communication" story... I love communication as a topic.
While talking with a customer, they told me that "long ago", someone at the top of the company decided that producing an ASIC for their product was a sensible route (🥴). They specified a "32kHz" input to an oscillator that would ultimately do things like track time (i.e: RTC).
Once they received the first silicon back (💰💰📅), they put it on a PCB, and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't keep time.
