Wrong again Andy. I'm a 40 something engineer who promotes and encourages new

approaches to solving problems. However, I do discourage rudeness and narrow-
mindedness in people when I see it - there is just no need for it and it has
the strong potential of inhibiting open discourse.


I'm a 58 year old veteran that can understand the difficulties in solving
problems. You always assign the hardest job to the laziest guy because he will
figure out the easiest way to get it done and probably get promoted because
folks will think he is smart.

You inhibit discourse in the military so the superiors who decide promotions
cannot reveal that they are also lazy and that is why they got promoted.
