I guess my two electrical engineering degrees won’t suffice
Well...jet engines have been improved a lot since 1939.
The same goes for radios, amplifiers and the likes...
Google was made by some students sitting right next desk, attending the very same teachers...
And many others, like the Wright brothers decided to discard what previously had been searched [Lilienthal....] building their own test equipment and their own engine... paving their way to success.
And, believe me, I see so many graduates that simply do not understand what they are talking about...There is some lack of true knowledge there. Was learned without a root, without a reason.

Some good ten minutes later he got close to my wife and said:
