What is the evidence of "obvious" here? I'm not denying
that something may be the case. However, using "obvious" is either
political rhetoric, or else one of the lesser habits of mathematical
style:

Some masters drive things against walls. Costly. Others succeed in
getting really good things done. Why is that? What is "obvious" here?


(You may have heard of the continuing failures to build BER airport.
In spite of good ideas, good engineers, etc., something is wrong
somewhere. Obvious?)
