IMO, if, for the sake of argument, someone's job depends on solving a problem, then that is a validly "urgent" problem. And in general, where someone is up against a deadline for some reason -- say they need to get an app ready to demo to the corporate bigwigs next week -- that's likewise "urgent".
In the case of something like Monkey, the need to meet an internal demo date would be valid cause for "urgent", in my opinion. Of course, "I'm bored and it's 3am and I'm too impatient to wait for someone to answer" isn't "urgent", but Tez said nothing to suggest that that was the scenario. I've been in this biz for 40 years, and I find programming is a lot like flying: Hours of sheer boredom punctuated by moments of stark terror.
