Same metrics while at SunLabs... (back to the original topic)
The summer intern kids (late teens to early twenties) from the likes of MIT,
Harvard, Berkeley, Stanford, Purdue, etc, etc all were whizzes on CAD and could
do almost anything you told them to do...but...when asked to 'think' and 'design'
something from scratch...got some pretty weird stuff...think Rube Goldberg
The older (mid 30's and up) physicists had the seasoned (hard knock schooling)
to know better
Oxymoron that...as the older physicists some times said 'can not be done' and
the kids often proved them so wrong because they didn't know they could...those
are the ones we chose those for next summer or hired them and passed on the others
