Ah, but I'm not, Glen. I'm trying to quantify WITHIN a face. Same way I would work to quantify "feels classy" when designing a new car seat or "this sounds good" when designing a loudspeaker. Gather data about how each individual feels and then try to draw conclusions from the aggregate data. Boom! :-)

Somethings you just can't really quantify, shaving ain't a science. I look at a plane like the Avro Arrow and say to me it meets the "If it looks right it is right" statement but don't ask me to quantify that what makes it so. With shaving you will know it when you feel it, till something better feeling comes along.

Are you saying I'll finally nail a true three point perspective? That'd be excellent! Originally Posted by gssixgun

We engineers are VERY good at quantifying feelings. It's what we do ;-) Ford RUTH Robot Has Feelings - YouTube Originally Posted by BobH

That is all well and good but this is only shaving for Pete's sakes and more of an art/learned skill not a science.
I worked in a pulp mill for 34 years and have seen what engineers come up with when you request a change in the equipment. Typical scenario is asking what the heck the millwright is installing and being told it was the change requested in the equipment. No real resemblance to what we had wanted originally. Just saying.

When we hear "the engineers are coming up" it usually raises a few groans. I don't even want to start on the prototype "design" we have currently been sent.

Not slagging engineers here but some I could do without. My deceased father in law was a civil engineer, well not too civil if you peed him off, and a fine practical fellow. My wife's friend is a chemical engineer and I'd trust what she had to say about chemicals. I just don't know what happened to our lot at work. I don't think they could have worked with Kelly Johnson at the Skunk Works unless you wanted an SR-71 that looked like a VW.
