That the term DD has supplanted technological curiosity and optimism is pretty well-established. I just do a read and replace on that. That which is DD in the rest of the world is scoffed off as "bean counting".
Fair enough.
As long as it is consistent, and it is, then I am o.k. with a group coming up with an in house definition of a term regardless of whether it is in many ways the antithesis of the meaning of the term to the rest of the world. DD means speculative technological optimistic projection. O.K. So be it. I don't think that is what they teach at Oxford or Harvard business or accounting, but hey, let them eat cake.
Seeing that awk has been fixated on olfactory GC characterizations of my content, I would like to suggest that he consider for a moment that his own conceit of transcendent knowledge of a particular wrench (TC) blinds him as it does many engineers of the fact that there are other things in the world, that his wrench-first and wrench-only view of the world spiraling into the notion that observing 6th grade grammar propels me into the stratosphere of being and "expert on everything" speaks more towards a more apparent fact that while some can actually eat AND wipe their ass (thus by his rule being an expert at two things) that many many many people not so self-absorbed with their unique wrench-vision are capable of what might broadly be considered (by debutantes, 5th graders and biologists alike) as casual human thought.
I am only left thinking that he is faking it, trying to trick me into thinking he is dumber than a tree-stump.
