Or, for the 'engineering model'
Hey! I've got a model for The Car - tells ya everything you need to know about making one:
______......______
|Box A | + |Box B | = The Car
|_____| + |_____|
What's in box B?
transmission, clutch, drivetrain, wheels - simple!
What's in Box A?
The Engine - simple!
OK.. I see how the principle of the lever covers gear ratios and, friction reduces power and.. wheels turn - all that B stuff.
But what's in Box A?
Oh, Laffercurves and Cost/Benefit ratios and extrapolated depreciation on the mean replacement cost and ...
^h^h...etc. I mean!
er, gasoline, air, metal, rubber, water, glycol, electrons, sludge, varnish, carcinogens - why ya wanna know all that stuff?
But how does The Engine work?
Nobody Knows, but we call it: 'Economics' and.. we can graph it to a fare thee well. It's enough. We've got the $; we make the rules.
I don't see how the Engine WORKS!
Look kid, if you wanna pass this course and get that MBA and start playing Solitaire in that corner office, in yer Regimental-striped tie - before Wednesday golf with the Doctors? Shut up and mark those boxes [T][F].
Oh, sorry - guess I don't need to know Everything!
