 In the 80's I worked for one of Charles Litton's (Litton Industries fame)
 sons Larry and he explained to me removing just one part, say an IC costing
 him $1/ea where he would sell a million units, would put $1-million bucks in
 his pocket! So, we'd work on a design to bring some creation to life, then
 the "real" engineers would take over eliminating as many parts as possible
 before the thing we created stopped working!

I've arranged a "Special Oven in Hell" for these guys.  They along with poor 
Quality Assurance end up destroying more products and potential sales than 
any other factor I know.  The techniques one uses often based on 
"conventional wisdom" often misleads many also.  An open mind can save you a 
lot of poor performance.  That "Tool" is not taught in schools and is your 
sole responsibiliy to develop one. 

Zenith had the best radios by far in the 30's & 40's.  They didn't allow 
employment
of these compromise experts and their thinking.  Collins, HP, Raibeam, M 
Squared and Antenna Mart have avoided their employment also.  k7gco
