With 20% understanding you can be 80% certain. Only with more than 80% understanding can you get sufficiently close to absolute certainty for most practical purposes -- Marc O'Brien


80% of the problems are solved by the best 20% of engineers. Only 20% of those best engineers solve 80% of the more unique problems. -- Marc O'Brien
