Reply to "Pushers and helpers"

This has been a hysterical read so I figured I'd pile on too.

I think it would be correct to state that in any profession you need a little bit of knowledge to start, the willingness to learn, and then lots of experience both good and bad.  As an architect, we call it a practice because only through experience do you ever truly learn to apply your craft and will never perfect it.  Yes we reference lots of books.  Knowing what book to find it in and how to apply the information is critical.  However ultimately drawing upon your own experience to make the best qualified decision in a very subjective profession is the only way to succeed. 

The best information I ever got in my profession was from peers who knew more than I did and passed it down to me.  

When it comes to knowledge of the real railroaders on this forum I always defer to them.  Experience, experience, experience is the only answer that ultimately makes sense even if it can't be empirically defined.
