Hello Ian, and others ????
Sounds quite familar, that most as you describe, fresh out of
University studies on this and that, are called upon for their
"Expert Opinion" which by my opinion, isn't one who was stationed
in or near the situation to be an expert....but one who has studied
something like the rest of us, watching the evening media.
In our time , we were taught to think, and math was without a
calculator, as in done in one's noodle to get the brain trained
to start thinking as data is coming.

I used to see these "pet" words used a lot in the last job. The
only thing, was these people were upper managers, and never had the
answer, nor did they ever give you it, later.
We also had an employee, that took delight in using big long impressive
and little used words to talk to the upper management team. They
were terrified of him.
short words, are the best...Get to the point.

All the time on the job, and now even more after.

No problem Ian. The posting did bring memorys for me, at work
and dealing with people, who hid this way, who are really ...well
posh they were not.
Got my new Skype running...so see you there some night again.
