Syntax poll

[Mikael Grev]

When you design and are wondering how the can *should* handle, ask the drivers.

After that the physicists know what to create.

When the car is done it will be tested by the journalists, which are more expert drivers than light physicists.


Btw, I should have made the metaphor about creating fighter jets instead, since I can speak from experience there. :)
