Interesting engineer's quote

[mark kibort <mkibort@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

"There are comparatively few engineering problems in which the data are
known to within, say , 5%, hence it is a sheer waste of time for the
engineer in practice to use long complex methods when simple, close
approximations can be used in a fraction of the
time."   John Goodman  (Brit.)

Found this famous quote in one of my old books.  =
