This is what I was trying to get at earlier. The product in reality is
not going to be for everyone. But if the team is caught up in thinking
"everyone! everyone and their mothers!" then the way to counteract it
is with the approach Josh mentioned.

The resulting design will be focused (i.e. not a "Homermobile") and
the product team gets the satisfaction of feeling like they "designed
for everyone." I think the main challenge for Sunandini will be
fighting off the "what if people need to <insert edge-case scenario
here>?" features. I've found the best way to meet people half-way on
these (if you must) is to hide those behaviors with a progressive
disclosure technique and to keep the main interaction focused on that
one person.
