This comment after the article is apt:
"My best friend is a lawyer, bright, gifted, ... PhD in law; bored with his job, he decided to study engineering. After his first quarter, he came to me and said that the two 'C's he'd achieved in Engineering Calculus 101 and Engineering Physics 101 were the first two non-A grades he'd ever gotten in college, and that he had had to study harder for them than for any other dozen classes he'd had. 'I now understand', he said, 'why engineers and their like are so hard to examine, whether on the stand or in a deposition. When they say a thing is possible, they KNOW
it is possible, and when they say a thing is not possible, they KNOW it is not. Most people don't understand 'know' in that way; what they 'know' is what we can persuade them to believe. You engineers live in the same world as the rest of us, but you understand that world in a way we never will.'
"I don't think that you have to love math to be an engineer, but you are going to have to learn it. That means that you're going to have to do the homework, correctly. Mistakes and "close enough" are the ways to build bridges that fail."
Someone at Purdue should look up "Lysenko"
