- Interesting example. There are a couple of faculty members that don't know
- nearly as much as I do about computer science, yet know quite a bit more about
- fuzzy logic because their area is process control. Fuzzy logic has been the
- "in" thing for a while now in process control. I would even say that no one
- in the computer science department knows nearly as much as they do about when
- fuzzy logic is applicable in Chemical Engineering.
-
- Agreed, the Software Engineer has an important role to play, but it is not
- being played in many cases.

- So, we don't need high level tools? Or you don't want to develop high level
- tools? What *is* the answer? All I want to do is make life easier for both
- of us. I want you to do what you do best, and let me do what I do best. I
- realize that involves more that just developing the tools, but without them
- things are going to stay in the current rut.
