Situation: When Jasmine is facilitating a brainstorm on event venues for an annual banquet, one team member shouts “Per Se!” (a high-end French restaurant). Jasmine knows this idea is highly unrealistic, but it also does not specifically violate any of the criteria set for the brainstorm. What should she say, to whom?
