I feel I'm in an unusual position because I have a BSME degree. Which means I'm familiar enough with basics that I can do a very rough analysis. And when I do that what I see I makes me really nervous. And yet I know I simply can't do anything more than that because it's way to complex. Any time that happens I fall back in what technical people in the field say. And those people are terrified. The flip side is anyone not a technical practitioner I discount what they say out of hand because I know they have no ability to discern anything.
