P.S. It's great that you are an engineer. You're not the only one..
Right and your sampling is one person out of...a lot of people. Not really a testiment to how well this "methodology" works.

The fact that you point out that I called myself an engineer tells me a lot about how you read my comment. I'm not bragging - simply stating that I've worked with and been apart of the teams that design & manufacture these vehicles so I have a little more experience than most with respect to what goes into the entire process of designing and testing the engine
