Summary
Debating a payment-spec shortcut, Dave says compromising now just hamstrings everyone, and two years from now you'll have to go through the whole process again for the next payment model. Better to do it right the first time.
Not in the audio. The closing 'do it right the first time' is a lone Dave cue after an Unknown cue, so it's paraphrased in the summary rather than quoted.
