       | You can say "yes" to this. What are they going to do, leave a bad
       | review? That already was the outcome. You could also say:
       | 
       | "No, I'll do a revision if my work didn't complete the agreed
       | upon project. As far as I can tell, I completed that project.
       | This looks like a new project. If you'd like me to consider this
       | new project, please open a new ticket here."
       | 
       | Consider the behavior you reward. Would the author have done that
       | much work for free if the client followed the rules and was kind?
       | Probably not. If you offer a narcissist discount, don't be
       | surprised if your clients are narcissists.
