Ed's comment reminded me of a little aphorism,=20
here quoted with tongue in cheek=20
(and without a copy of the entire previous discussion!)

"In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.
But in practice, [often] there is."

Well written and if I may steal and paraphrase what you have written I'd
like to expand its reach.

"The main trick with Engineering is to know when to include stuff=20
and to equally know when to leave it out.  THAT is the most difficult
part.  One wants it complex enough to get meaningful, useful data but
not so complex to where the data is meaningless or simply never =
converges."

If you can learn to be good at that task you will be a good Engineer -
whatever area of expertise you are in. Many smart people never become
good engineers because they can't accomplish that task.

Thanks
Ed
