Except that ability has nothing to do with being an engineer.
mathematician: '3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime...by induction, 9 is prime...'
physicist: '3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9...experimental error, 11 is prime...'
engineer: '3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is prime, 11 is prime, 13 is prime...'

I really liked the guy, had nerves of steel. He got a stingray stinger THROUGH his chest. RIP......
Then, a page 11 post from Xanthos :
What? Your original statement was to do with a crude house. Now you are talking about the wiring of a skyscraper? And even if I could design the wiring for such a building that is not the same as building it myself.
No one designs via blueprints they build via blueprints. They are instructions to follow.
It figures.

PS Edit ; ..and this again from Xanthos is the latest:
mathematician: '3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime...by induction, 9 is prime...'
That's not how induction works.
physicist: '3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9...experimental error, 11 is prime...'
You can't have experimental error in math. It's pure.
engineer: '3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is prime, 11 is prime, 13 is prime...'
This is the punchline? So it's a crack about how engineers are bad at math or something? Or am I missing the point?

Absolutely.

It's not logical to say that I have made "outrageous" claims and even "lied" when you do not know even who I am. Simple really.

He made a mistake and tragicly paid a great price. Steve's death was just like Kevin Budden's. Budden's mistake was that he had nothing with him to keep a taipan in. Stephen Robert Irwin. R.I.P.

I recommend you stick to your sexual innuendo. At least you seem to have done enough research in that area to know all the slang words and spelling. Well done.
