more old smart old guys

Continuing with my reading of the Rickard classic... I came across this quote of Huxley: "Science and literature are not two things, but two sides of the same thing."

This is the essence of what we've attempted to do with WRT 407. We've "attached" (although I still like the term embedded) the writing -- the literate activities -- to the engineering activities -- the science of the practicing engineer.

One hundred plus years later, and we're still arguing the same case. Something to be said in that, I think.
