All of it and more. At some companies the engineers are the industrial 
designers too.

CR doesn't give an accurate picture of that. It's such a little club it's 
about asking Obama sup****ters what they think Gravel. 

Anyway, your double standard comes into play here because just like 
people who aren't chemistry professors aren't interested in reading 
entire chemistry papers in a journal but just want the jist of it in a 
simple article, you want the jist of reliability in a simple article. You 
don't want to read engineering journal articles on the topics, so you'll 
never know why your favorite publication for the m***** is flawed. 

I deal with reliability issues frequently and self-sup****ting is the 
worst way to get data. minor insigificant problems seem huge while huge 
problems seem minor or worse, unknown!
