I tend to just think along the lines of, "what's the
best, most efficient, quickest, least costly, and most
appropriate way to get this done," and then I do it.
The only problems I have and continue to run into from
non-technical writers has everything to do with
managers pronouncing from on-high about things they
don't understand (and don't want to understand) and
really nothing to do with any particular quadrant of
the brain. (You know, king-of-the-hill syndrome.)
Question, do engineering lists have topics like this
go on for a week? Maybe. Maybe civil engineers have
"we're not worthy" threads and get pummled by
mechanical engineers, or something ... hmmmmm?
Inquiring central-lob(otim)ists want to know.
