That’s how to quantify indeterminate factors for people who would write Ο€ to 11 decimals.

A few years ago, I had occasion to point out to a former manager that a problem they called me back to fix wasn’t really technical – it had technical fixes – but structural; the organization had distant managers competing to offer their ideas on fixes to an engineer they’d never set eyes on, imposing a workload that would have required a much longer day and 24 hour support services, and then getting upset he hadn’t got them done before the next morning’s telephone call.

Had the organization been structured to fix all the small problems up front, before building first items and shipping them off for verification testing, delay penalties and the much higher expense of fixing “metal already bent” could have been avoided.

Structural.

Cheers!
