HowlerKarma, the funny thing is while I do evaluate data, I have always been very intuition-driven, which drives other people crazy. I have been known to work backwards and use data to support what my gut instantly told me in the first place. I have been told that is just so unscientific . . . at which point I have to respond that I am the opposite of a scientist.
The problem is that there is no owner's manual . . . altough I have to admit that I almost never read manuals and have built many items, including furniture, by feel, with the occasion mistakes, which were mostly correctable.
