When the customer draws the blue triangle, massage the requirements... "It looks like you're satisfied with intersection, not necessarily perpendicularity. If there's no regulatory requirement for perpendicularity, there's no reason to break ourselves on trying to attain it."

Then, pack that bag for the balloon trip. :smug:
