It's funny, this sentiment reminds me of this quote from Patton during WW2: 'Amateurs talk tactics, professionals talk logistics '. These engineers are so focused on the 'cool' stuff and the 'hard' stuff, the super-sonic stuff, basically the tactics of moving infantry and doing flanking maneuvers and tank charges. But the real stuff that will really get the times down is 'boring' and intellectually 'easy'. Its the flow of parking, the security line, the scheduling reroutes when a blizzard strikes, the logistics side of feeding troops and making sure extra parts get to the lines and counting the number of shells used per hour. War and business are generally very simple, have more guns/money than your enemy.
