Waiting with baited breath to find out who wins this argument.

Nobody!

In the end: we will shift where we want to shift. I love engineers, and theory, but I live in a real world. What is on paper doesnt always work.

Some of us call it "seat of the pants". I call it "calibrated ass"

Old school: "Bubba" shift the truck just after the valves float!!

In my experience, that's what the people say when they don't understand the theory. Engineering is all about the application of science to the "real world" and using it to make real products. This is relatively simple stuff that is 100% applicable to real life.
