I am sure you are correct.
I should stick to things I know something about. Instead of talking out my A$$.

I miss Thackney. He was formerly our FR expert on all things petroleum related. He taught me the difference between Light Sweet crude and Heavy Sulfur crude.
He was a Petroleum Engineer. Plus he knew all about the transport of oil by tanker, pipeline or donkey.
He may have passed because I have not seen him post in many years.

Don't think I ever crossed paths with Thackney. Sounds like he would know more about this then me as well. I'm a ChE and know a little bit about lots of things but the personal, high end technical expertise drops off when I get outside my specialty niches.

As a project manager for example, I always do my best to bring into the team people smarter than me. Someone always knows something better than me. I tap their experience within their niche and assemble their parts into the cohesive whole. No ego involved, I hope. Think of a symphony conductor.

Blissfully retired now and living in a mountain cabin…. Lol….

Cheers…
