man oh man

so if we didn't have the almighty engineer then we would be living in caves, eh? a little high on yourself aren't you?

as for wasting time and money, i guess you have never met another engineer that wasted much time and huge money due to piss poor engineered designing... must be nice to live in such a deluded, secluded world.

if it wasn't for the labourers, and the red necks, we would still be living in caves looking at a drawing on a wall waiting for the engineer to get it right.

intersting, i have met 4 engineers that became friends. one quit the profession because of the 'bullshit' he saw going on. another admitted engineers are arogant dreamers, another got so frustrated of having to work from the incorrect designs given to him from engineers that he became one
(and he had to be the smartest engineer i have met. his designs WORKED each time we had to build from them) and just recently i met another that also admitted engineers are high on themselves.

now to get back to this thread, not everyone wants to invest the time to learn how to design a turbo or an intercooler. most want to understand the principal behind what it does and that is good enough. they want to be able to enjoy the turbo and if it isn't working at perfect (on paper) efficiency, they can live with that.

Understanding is the key to success. Without it you're just wasting good time and money.
