Robert Lily has made IMO valuable contributions to this list... his informed opinions are as valid as anyone else's... I to am an engineer... engineering depts. are often plagued with the NIH syndrome... it is endemic... NIH = not invented here... If it is NIH it is prima fascia bogus... bogus is as bogus does... I have witnessed obsolescence designed in... in some cases dissimilar metals are in places that will cause eventual failure... it is obvious not mysterious... engineers do not normally run the show it is the same MBA's that do such good work with HMO's... I am not a bigot there either I have on of those pieces of paper too... |
