Thanks all. The real facts just needed to be laid out as to what truly occurs in an R&D moving painfully to a pilot production setting.
There are some very intelligent people, that cannot for the life of themselves, realize what takes place in a Research and also a Development group that proceeds toward pilot plant operation. Furthermore, those same folks can not contemplate the machinations that must take place, timing, acceptance and proof of concept. Because of their particular lack of mechanical and dimensional experience, their mind ignores the reality of Research and Production modes. The result is high intellect and high ignorance.
No different from a person who is tone deaf and thus unable to carry a tune.
Unlike the tone deaf person (example, I am losing my hearing and it is effecting my tune) that is not funny. It is somewhat amusing though to see the contortions of those who are ignorant on purpose.
