You are really good, Art. How do you keep it up?

You make new and fresh nonsense up with very many of your
posts. Not
every one, but you do have to carry on your themes after all.

Still, it's quite an effort you put into it. How do you
continue to
make almost no sense? That's really tough. I mean, even
random chance
would say you occasionally have to be realistic.

As an engineer can't afford to act on theories alone
only those that have already be established.
Not knowing anything about what the two of you are talking about,
just
gotta say one thing... Engineers are known for knowing all the
knowladge to pass a test, yet not a single bit of real-world
usage.
Eg. An engineer can design the complete working schematic for a
ham
radio, but when it comes to putting it together, he may have the
hardest time stripping the wires, soldering the connections, etc.
But
gosh darn it, once it's completely together, and fired up.... The
engineer would then listen carefully and hear a distorted sounding
voice and insist that the antenna wasn't working to full
potential,
while the newly licensed short order cook steps up and turns the
clarifier slightly and hears a much clearer voice, then tells the
Engineer "You go tune the antenna, while I make a connection to
this
operator!"

Most engineers are not technicians though a lot were a one time.

Do doctors usually know the best way to mop the floors in the
hospital?

Quite possibly, yes.
