As I've said before, “what will you do” doesn't request that you lay out a plan. Saying what you will care about doesn't tell us anything about what you will *do*. Saying what you will focus on doesn't tell us what you will *do*. > I honestly don't see what more I could tell you, without making up > examples.

We're asking what you will *do*, so we can better know what you mean by “do better”. In particular, what you will do. Naturally, that involves speculation about future possibilities. Surely, though, a DPL candidate can be expected to have some degree of foresight as to typical *specific* situations and how they would respond differently from other candidates. That's what is being requested – in my framing of the question, anyway. > What more do you want? There is nothing more to say than that. Perhaps that's the most informative answer.
