Another 2 cents...

I agree Stew.  I have to admit I know many great scientists who don't 
actually understand the basics of how certain pieces of equipment work 
or how to do a particular experiment, but they ask the right questions 
and provide the right interpretations.  These people are the ones 
running large lab groups and looking to the frontiers of science.  I 
truly understand your position too DK since, as much as I admire such 
great scientists their lack of understanding of some basics really sh!ts 
me to tears!!  As I see it, we have two choices as scientists. 1 
Understand everything we do and get little done or, 2. Understand what 
we need in order to get done what needs to be done!
