Jim,
I agree. But a principle shapes your thinking, in the sense it is there, in your mind. And even if you are not conciously using it for your decisions, you are still using it in the background, and you may eventually revert to it. A principle provides a reference for your work. It also gives you powerful arguments. For, if you deny something I said, well, that's it, it's something I said. But if you deny something that comes from a principle, you are questioning the principle.

Sergio, I am sure that most of everything that happened in aeronautical engineering could be tied to a principle, but that is not the same as saying that everything was as if every advancement was knowingly bound to a principle when first conceived or otherwise created. The use of mathematics is an important tool in science and technology. No question about that.
