That's like an old story about William Faulkner, the writer. He went to Hollywood to make some good coin, and got a writing job at a studio.
Goes in the first day, Studio Head says, "Bill, read this book, and then write a treatment."
Faulkner reads the book before lunch. After lunch he writes the treatment. Turns it into the Studio Head. Goes home.
Comes in next morning, and all the other writers are waiting for him. He asks what the problem is. One of the writers comes forward and says, "Bill, we got a problem here. Now us guys, we've worked real hard on this setup. We've got mortgages, and children, and cars to pay for, and we can't have somebody come in and mess that up. We've got a good setup here, and we don't want anybody to blow it. So get this straight, Faulkner. A treatment takes two weeks!!"
