"I'm an engineer too smartypants! "

Sure coulda fooled me. Most engineers understand numbers and have good perspective on reality. What diploma mill did you go to?

Lord Kelvin expressed this issue well:

"I often say that when you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely in your thoughts advanced to the state of Science, whatever the matter may be."
