Re: How much detailed an OEQ Answer should be?

The best way (IMHO) to look at these questions is as if your boss asked
them to you. Would you simply say "time to live", turn around and walk
away?

Some may, but with many bosses, that's not a very wise thing to do.

Go with that assumption and I don't think you'll go wrong!
