I like to say: "The only people who don't (bleep) up, are the people who never do anything..."

Well, my comment is this:

Even though you can be scientific in planning to do A, you will run across B-Z in messing around with trying to get A to work. Edison didin't spend his time messin around with formulas behind a desk.....he futzed with stuff till he got it right. (And, as I said, came across many OTHER patents in the quest to make his idea work)

I have immense respect for Edison, and those of our ilk. Hands-on can show you stuff the formulas won't. It may kill you in the process, but that is the price....

"some men dream of worthy accomplishments,while others stay awake and do them"

If you don't try, you will always be left wondering.:confused2:

I fall somewhere in the middle on this. All planning and no trying obviously gets you nowhere. All trying and no planning seems counter-productive. The best amount of each will depend on the application, I suppose.

I have too many irons and not enough fire. If it breaks fix it, if it needs doing do it.
