 If the assumptions are wrong, the conclusions are not likely to be very good.  A wise engineer once remarked that, “If the assumptions are wrong, the conclusions are not likely to be very good.” We engineers buy into that, right? After all, we are logic-driven, faithfully following good mechanical and algorithmic processes to an appropriate solution. In this case, designing a leak test or solving a test problem on a high-speed production line. Then someone brings a software guy in the room… Unfortunately, some technical types start out ...
