Imagine trying to write a technical piece for a TV series on science, include all of the necessary technical jargon as well as a lay explanation of those terms so the audience doesn't get lost, then cover only the absolute minimum pathway through the entire concept from start to finish making sure you touch on all of the key contributors, you must present the concepts along the way making sure each piece relates to the whole picture, then once you've written the whole thing 3-4 times over, you're told it's too long by 40%, so then you cut it down by 40% while trying to retain as much meaning as possible...mind-you, you haven't got to the editing phase yet, you haven't done the graphics, or invited speakers, and all this is assuming you understand the content in the first place.
Accurate documentaries would be the most difficult thing to make.
Imagine doing a 12 part series on the evolution and meaning of General Relativity aimed at the general public?!
You would probably end up looking like Einstein yourself.
What is even more devestating is using the wrong font for a comma.
Reminds me of a supervisor I once had.

Tell me about it!!!
Or, if you get someone who has, for whatever reason entirely known to themselves only, has taken a disliking to you. That can stuff you up pretty well and good too.
People can be rather arbitrary and very pedantic at times.

Yep, with your hair looking like it just come out of a bad day at the barbers and your tongue poking out of your mouth...
