The nature of discourse

There is a new newlywed reality show that Lee and I saw for the first time last week. They asked the newlyweds what the greatest source of their arguments was. For Lee and I it is the speed at which we make decisions. Lee makes judicious, lightning fast decisions. I, however, make slow, methodical, fully-encompassing, high fidelity decisions following a great deal of research (notice the necessary inclusion of flowery language to substantiate my existence in the decision-making process). Allow me to present this simulation:

"What should we put with the watermelon in the fruit salad?"

Lee
[more watermelon!!]
[Cantaloupe]
"Cantaloupe"

[well, cantaloupe and honeydew are the most common staples]
[that feels rather unoriginal]
[maybe some kind of berries, like blueberries or blackberries]
....
[oranges? I don't know that those flavors are complementary]
[Although Jackson, Turkleston and Hazamire quoted in their landmark 2004 paper "The
Dynamic Ubiquity of Oranges" that oranges are the "new lettuce"]
....
[squash? that's just silly. Although it could potentially absorb the watermelon flavor]
....
