Heh. Thanks for this, Guy, but just because I'm addicted to the
illusion of integrity, I have to report that I'm not a "real" Engineer.
The closest I could really technically get might be "de facto" engineer,
with a lower-case 'e', but things like "engineering technologist,"
"engineering consultant", and so on might sound impressive, but the
"highest" I've ever "officially" got along those lines has been
engineering tech.

Although, realistically, I'd be happy to pit myself against a real
engineer in certain kinds of contests. ;-)

Mathematician/scientist/engineer? The point is, one of them realizes that
it converges on a limit within finite time, so just walks across the room
and wins. :-)
Whatever the f that has to do with anything.
