At this hour of my morning, he has not yet tested his idea by proving his vision DOES work.

His teacher is a numbers guy so of course unless you can "prove" it on paper, then it WON'T work.

Whereas the student is a visualizer, .....and a visualizer can usually build several and see what works and has time to build several
during the time the "engineer" is doing the math..over and over....

As an observer of these guys, I can see why they have disagreements between them. The teacher is intolerant of the visualizer, because engineering is mathematics.
Don't ask me how I learned this....LOL.

Are we forgetting that a bumble bee is to big to fly with his size wings? (according to the engineers).........but he doesn't know that he can't fly.......so he does it anyway....
