Running a Think Tank is not an easy job, as in such a group are many brilliant people who are all somewhat hard headed, even if they get together and a rather pleasant during meetings. One of the most common problems I am finding is that brilliance comes with baggage.

For instance scientists study everything to death. Engineers will try to consider every possible flaw or possible structural failures in advance. Then the entrepreneurial innovators go off half-cocked and just go try it and learn thru trial and error, often throwing caution to the wind and flying by the seat of their pants relying on intuition.

You see I myself am an entrepreneur, and I have found success in doing. Just do it. All the scientific discussion and theory is not worth just building it and start testing in 20-30 days. Engineers say they can do with 1 Lb of material what anyone else would take 10 lbs. I say "So what" are we short of materials or something?

As an entrepreneurial innovator, I live in a nation of abundance? And who has 6-months to wait? Besides in six months of using it you will learn more than the nay saying scientists still arguing over, who thought of it, if it will work and whose math to use. Meanwhile the Engineers are so busy designing it, that we already built it and flew it over their heads while they are busy telling us it will not fly? Whatever. So consider all this in 2006.
