You guys act like there's something wrong with being crazy, which I find crazy.
Take a look around... you call this sanity? :-) Seriously tho, it's all levels of logic. How far down off the giant's shoulder do you go? The answer: it varies! However much you need. You'd have to apply the stuff to real world situations to get any kind of meaning out of it. *** I'm still a little green: perhaps this is a person we as a group are supposed to shun? Looks like he does some CF, so maybe there's more going on here than a newbie would get? *** Should the driver know how his brakes work, or just that they work? Guess it depends on the quality of driver, or if the driver has a good mechanic (and money), etc.. I like knowing at least rudimentary details about everything I can, but I'm naturally curious. Or maybe I was learned it. Can critical thinking *really* be taught? Several times I've know more than the doctor, or the mechanic, so, you have to pick your people well. And that's what it boils down to. The right tool for the job (duh) :-). Sometimes it's a GUI-guru, sometimes it's a command-line commando. Denster apparently only needs a monkey. :-) There is always the risk that you choose the wrong tool, too, as any good mechanic will tell you. Sometimes it requires in-depth knowledge, sometimes just a skim. At times it's just fun, and proper, to make fun. The *really* crazy thing, is sanity. :-) Whatever flics your bic, right? -- The most common guideline, called the *McQuary* limit, is a size of no more than four lines of *less than* eighty columns each.
