No. I didn't, but I had that in mind when I wrote I meant average engineers. One thing is a Leonardo da Vinci one Einstein. Guys who come one every millenium, if so. Perhaps they come one time in a life form whole existence!

Those are hours concours and we are not talking about them.

The other are the rest of us. To call oneself a genius is to make reference to those one-in-a-millenium real genius well...

A lot of discoveries are mistakes. Like the guy forget an experiment switched on at night on and get a unexpected result, of a guy veer off course get lost and find a new land...

Some of those guys just stumble upon the solution and then work back a story...

. And average engineers are already really bright [compared with average guys] as they don't get into engineering universities without a good load of brainpower.

There are only a few very bright people who get lucky and come up with something that is new and wonderful.

Most engineers are like the rest of us. They don't get to do very much that is important. They get to do things that eventually computers can do.

Most engineers that I know are very limited. Outside of being able to solve equations that someone else has an answer for, they can't do very much.
