Honestly that single pair of sentences has preceeded more
humbling experiences for me in the past than I care to
discuss. They're sorta the moral equivalent of "Hey Bubba,

I have a joke that I tell technicians and fellow engineers. You
stand there with your volt meter en garde and say "trust me --
I'm an engineer. I know things". Managers and interns will be
confused, but real engineers will smile and the technicians will
laugh.
