TEN
COMMANDMENTS OF ENGINEERING
1.
Thou shalt heed thy calling, which is to make an aid to decision
and
not a work of art which pertained but to itself.
2. Thou shalt not confuse form with substance for a little insight is
worth
many data.
3. Gild not wild guesses with refined analysis.
4. Cast not words into the shape of numbers for the sake of
worshipping
these numbers into equations which yield no
truths.
5. Thy words must have depth, scope, and clarity, but the greatest of
these
is clarity.
6. Confound not thy fellows with long words of doubtful meaning nor
use
many words for few ideas.
7. Know that there are many things which cannot be put into the
shell
of a nut nor into a table nor yet a mathematical formula.
8. Thou shalt not ride thy philosophic hobby horse up and down
between
the lines of an argument.
9. Put not thy burden on the shoulders of others by demanding
judgements
on ill considered arguments; nor call for many facts
when
few would serve.
10. Thou shalt cause thy followers to read thy assumptions as well as
thy
conclusions, lest they be led blindly into foolishness.
