Well, as an aerospace engineer, you got me raising to the bait :)
For my two cents of worth, its just that those guys of the old times
had to take a lot of painstaking work to achieve their goals. Nobody
would do this amount of work for something he is not completely
convinced of. This makes distinction between a foolish and a completely
educated approach a bit difficult. I for my part tend to belong to the
fools, for I'm not searching for the truth. I am just doing the best
I can with what I have available.
Cheers,
Hendrik
