Yeah that isn't the problem. I can convey the facts rather simplistically to the point where anyone can understand what I'm trying to say. The problem is that without a solid background in math more advance than the high school level it becomes a matter of complete and utter confusion. So much so that an electrical engineer came up with the math first and then proceeded to ignore the mathematicians that pointed out that his math had no valid proof. The math involved converts a complex differential equation into an algebra equation. You can do it without the math but then you start going into the realm of never going to happen in a professional environment which is what my original point was.

Instead whether or not the programming is something that should be singled out in the over all process.

That is the point. If it weren't for the fact that I've seen things that were programmed correctly but still managed to operate incorrectly invalidates the whole singular aspect programming being the most essential thing. Though I find it really odd that there isn't a single control systems engineer that hasn't peeked in on this discussion. Is there anyone here that does this for a living as opposed to myself who probably wants to be doing this for a living?
