Every once in a while I run into fellow requirements engineers who seem to ignore the fact that the holy project objectives trinity of Time, Budget, and Scope is all about interrelated, inseparable ideas. Why are they ignorant? After I heard about recent insights from quantum mechanics, an explaining theory formed in my head. I will add a little cognitive science and Buddhism to support my argument.

Conclusion: people might have a mental model too simple for covering the actual interrelation present.
