Ironically, you called my thinking as absolute and went ahead to do the very same thing you called "Engineer Thinking". Nothing in my comment above contradicts your comment. Your effort to explain HOW in detail is admirable. However, I wish you hadn't created a label on my way of thinking. It doesn't help a discussion.
