I'm constantly ignoring things in my engineering studies at college. Things like friction, atmosphere, more friction, losses here and there... and if I'm not ignoring, I'm assuming certain conditions (say, flow regime or ideal conditions)!

When the Mythbusters overlook things, they usually explain why they're overlooking it. Say, they're going for ideal conditions (where engineers love to operate). They are thorough, just not in the way you want.

BTW: Grant Imahara has been involved with FIRST for a while. It might be a bit late for your concern about putting a bad face on FIRST. (And I REALLY hope your suggestion that Steve Jobs show up was not serious, for fairly obvious reasons. Now, the Woz, on the other hand...)
