As an engineer, I am always amazed that proposed solutions that rely on years of experience, research, testing, sleepless nights and stacks of documentation and numbers are sctutinized beyond belief, opposed with the most inane arguments and quickly forgotten but on the other hand, made up statistics, pie-in-the-sky numbers or weak conjectures are accepted by everybody, hang around for years unchallenged and end up in business cases and news.
