I am an engineer.

I define engineering as the economical application of scientific
knowledge to a physical application.

Nah. Thats cost accounting. Design and manufacture something with the
minimal cost and effort that will just do the job with no margin for
error. When it fails, refer to "Definition of Engineering" and blame
the customer for their lack of knowledge.



One of the beginnings of maturity is recognising how little you know
as an individual.

Ya gotta love Usenet. Posters simulating critical thought with
platitudes, without knowing who they are talking to.

Sorry, wasnt aware I was talking to "an engineer". I apologise. Please
forgive me for my ignorant comments.
