Biff the unclean

It seems to me that if I claimed to you that I had designed and made something…say an automobile you were familiar with…that if I went on and described it to you, but didn't know what it was like, you could honestly accuse me of lying about what I did.
Say that I didn't know it had wheels. And I didn't know the size, shape or color. Add to that that I didn't know it ran by gasoline engine but thought that wishes made it go. Not that I thought that my car went anywhere but decided instead that the world moved and my car stayed in one place. If I got all of these fundamental things wrong about the car wouldn't you be convinced that I was lying in my claim to have made it?

Say you were working on the four-wheel drive but couldn't figure out how the computer could shift the torque away from the wheel that slipped to the wheel that gripped, would you think that that was proof that Biff, who didn't even know the thing had wheels, actually made it?

Now about Genesis…

Well, you do know that the people who write the manual aren't the same people who engineered or built the device, right?

Hey Shadowy Man,
I resemble that!

As a technical writer I know first hand what you speak of, most manuals suck and people like me are the reason why. -- Albert the Traditional Catholic
