Please be more constructive in your criticism.
As an example
> WHAT ??? Nobody who knows the "Scientific Method" and has trained as an "Engineer" will ever agree with you. You are taking "one facet" of a specific Engineering Discipline and generalizing it to the whole Domain of "Engineering". This is a fundamental logical fallacy.
How is it a fundamental logical fallacy? Why are we making broad statements for the whole industry?
- rramadass 5y agoPlease do not quote my comments out of context. My above-quoted comment was in response to; >> Normal engineering has been reduced to a series of unidimensional logical decisions. This is my constraint…these are my material properties (or whatever) and I shall optimize for cost. Easy peasy. A computer could do it. This is the realm of building codes and strict industry standards. The fact that this is ludicrous should be self-evident to any "Scientifically Minded" person. Trying to explain the "Why" would have to start at the Basics and would be too long.
