 		 #121579 - Dangerous Information
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Erik Malund said:

Speed vs overhead
what about 'and', in some specific cases you can gain speed and reduce overhead.
Just to show how fluid this issue is.

Very True, this does happen frequently.

I did put some thought in my previous reply: "Experience is a very difficult thing to share.
I can comment on specific cases, but cover in general terms my experience to the full extent - I do not see how."

Agreed, there is no way pass on total experience.

There is an enormous danger in a FAQ that is not general. Even with a 'warning' it will be taken by some as apostolic truth.

Information can be dangerous in the wrong hands, however, hopefully the "some" that take is as apostolic truth will be out weighed by the many that will take it as a general guideline to things that can be tried to gain speed and/or reduce overhead.
