Think about this: That awesome craft was designed by guys with slide rules instead of computers.

That's not possible, according to the bean-counters.

I once worked out an engineering solution on a quadrille pad with a pencil at a meeting, and it included some greek characters! Oh, my! Basic algebra. No integration or anything.

I presented the solution and got told by the bean counters that I would have to explain some of it, and they wouldn't sign off until they understood it.

3 weeks later....it was the same answer down to 4 decimal places.
