   But you don't have to be an "engineer" to make Reagan-grade "engineer"   
   mistakes.

   Here's a fellow who doesn't know that in kinematics the physics of a   
   swivelling two-block linkage is far more complicated than that of a   
   block by itself.   
      
   In GM, sometimes we needed to use devices like that when anything better   
   was not available. Many would get the impression, "you just hop on it   
   and drive forward and backward with an eye on the load behind. Hehe :)   
      
   Never worked. They'd invariable lock themselves into a non-recoverable   
   position, then unmounted their asses and asked for help from those who   
   knew better. "I need a heavy ass forklift to lift the whole damn thing   
   up and place it somewhere with room around it!" They'd ask :)   
      
   Learning to drive a swivelling two-block vehicle has its own unique   
   learning curve. It is just like learning to ride a bicycle for the first   
   time. You're not endowed with it just because you're "American."   
      
   Hahhahhah :)   
      
   You have no idea in what strange situations they'd trap themselves   
   inside large industrial elevators, blocking the flow of traffic to other   
   levels for hours. In GM _seconds_ were super critical, let alone hours.   
   The loss of money was staggering.
