Thanks McWicked.
Engineering should be like math. The right answer is always expressed in it’s simplest form. For a simple math example, the value 8/16 ths is simplified to 1/2.
But there sure are lots of constraints. The technical staff of my employer would tell the administration that they could have any two of the following three, (on-time, on-budget, high quality), but never all three. Almost always the administration choose on-time, on-budget, and no good.
