Eric Stevenswhichever one is the better driver, has the faster car and has better mechanics working on said car.
Just imagine, two identical drivers except that one has the above abilities and the other doesn't. Who is going to come in first?
not the same at all.Eric StevensThe 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.nospam
that's not what i said.
You said "he doesn't need to know what's possible and it's probably better if he doesn't". Isn't that the same thing as "a top line architect wouldn't/shouldn't have an understanding of what he can an cannot do with the tools at his disposal"?
then you're confused.nospamEric Stevens
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.
Agreed. But that's not I said previously. Nor is it what you said just above.

he 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.
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.
no it isn't. you said they *don't* work that way.
Go back up and read what I actually wrote, once again.
that's the whole point.Eric StevensnospamnospamEric 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.
wrong. if you think something is impossible, you won't ask for it, then someone else comes up with a way to do it.
But if you don't know that it is impossibe, then you will try to do it (or get someone else to try to do it).
exactly my point.nospamEric Stevens
everything is impossible, until someone invents a way to do it.
Wrong definition of impossible. That you don't yet know how to do something doesn't mean that it is impossible.
he incorrectly assumed it was not going to do what was claimed because he thought that was impossible.nospamEric Stevens
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.
But it wasn't impossible.
the point is to be creative in how you go about solving a problem. if the obvious way to solve a problem doesn't work, try something unusual.nospamEric Stevens
one of many, many examples.nospamas i said, i've seen it happen, and it's not that rare. sometimes you have to think out of the box.Eric Stevens
Which you can only do if you know where the box supposedly is.
nope.
Then how do you know whether your thinking is either in or out of the box, if you don't know where the box is?
