Mark Kibort enlightens us:
"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
