All the top drivers have consideraable insight into the operation of the car and input into the way the car is set up. No two cars in the top teams handle the same way: they have been individually setup to the requirements of the individual drivers.
they have insight in how to race and what they need out of the car.
... and how to get it out of the car.
it's not called being a mechanic.
nothing wrong with that but that's not a requirement to be a race car driver.nospamEric Stevens
they don't need to know auto mechanics to do that, although they might want to.
see the difference?
I think you are trying to make a difference where there isn't one. If you are of above average intelligence, competitive, and have been driving racing machinery for eight or more years, why should you not have a top of te line understanding of why the car does what it does?
that's not what i said.Eric StevensnospamEric StevensThe problem is that you have a narrow understanding. It's up to the architect to decide where he wants to. It's the programmer who has to take him. This only works if the architect has some understanding of what is possible.nospam
he doesn't need to know what's possible and it's probably better if he doesn't.
Haw!
what's so funny?
The idea that a top line architect wouldn't/shouldn't have an understanding of what he can an cannot do with the tools at his disposal.
obviously they need to know how to *use* their tools.
what they don't need is how to *make* the tools, i.e., how to program a computer.
no it isn't. you said they *don't* work that way.nospamEric Stevens
kids don't know (yet) what's possible or not and their imaginations sometimes gets adults thinking in ways they wouldn't otherwise and sometimes the kids themselves come up with new ideas the adults thought weren't possible.nospamhe might think something is not possible and then not ask for it, not realizing that someone who knows more than he does can do it and might even have already done it in another project.Eric Stevens
i've seen that happen a lot.
Top architects/engineers do not work that way. They are always pushing the limits.
the better ones do.
That's my point.
you keep changing things. hard to keep up. pick one story and stick to it.
wrong. if you think something is impossible, you won't ask for it, then someone else comes up with a way to do it.nospamEric Stevens
ask for the impossible, then see how close you can get. if you have the best engineers, you might be surprised.
If you don't know what can be done, you wont't ask for it.
everything is impossible, until someone invents a way to do it.
when the iphone came out, the ceo of blackberry didn't believe any of it, saying it was not possible to make a phone that small that did all of what was demoed. since he thought it was impossible, he didn't even try.
one of many, many examples.
nope.nospamEric Stevens
as i said, i've seen it happen, and it's not that rare. sometimes you have to think out of the box.
Which you can only do if you know where the box supposedly is.
