Cecil, as an engineer of a few years experience you should know that a
scientist can never be allowed to build a bridge ... it will never be
finished because you can never close the flex seams that are used for
thermal expansion/contraction. While engineers finish the job by getting
close enough to walk/drive off.

There's a dirty little engineering secret in there, Dave. If you don't
give the engineer a budget and a deadline, he will keep on improving his design
forever. It's the operations (profit) arm of a company that forces the engineer
to give up and say it's close enough. Engineers are just low-paid scientist
wanabees. If engineers had the same dollar/time budget as the scientists, you
wouldn't be able to tell the difference in them except maybe in the level of
performance. :-)
