Postawmy sprawę jasno: mogę pomóc w przygotowaniu spotkania, ale nie przejmę odpowiedzialności za jego ostateczny program.

That comment gets to the heart of the problem: we agreed on a deadline, but we still understand the scope of the task differently.

That example sheds new light on the matter, but does not by itself settle which of the two interpretations should be accepted.

Finding a common language requires checking whether we use the same words to refer to the same situation.

I don't want to add fuel to the fire, so I will first clear up the misunderstanding and only then return to the disputed topic.

Let's not sweep the difficult question under the carpet just because we cannot give a full answer today.

I want to get the facts straight before we put the finishing touches to the matter and announce the final decision.
