I assume you have met an engineer it always works on paper but not always in real life.

I have been searching for it(the thread) and can't find it. I am sure thats what they said. And like you I made just about the same comment.

Not only met them, I employ two of them. They've done some silly things but nothing that bad. I, howeve,r have painted myself into a corner- literally. I'm a firm believer in smart people doing stupid things.
