NG had a good suggestion that if you can't talk about what you envision to listen to what he sees as happening. You don't have to agree (or argue) just listen.
You can't reconcile all of this b/c to you it doesn't make any sense. It didn't to me either. Fact of the matter is though, whether it makes sense or not, it's a reality we are faced with.
What exactly does he expect you to do with regards to seperating plans?
