I, personally, did not consider what Adam said "a lecture", but his
expressing his point of view in the forum that is supposedly meant for th=at
purpose. If we cannot express our opinions openly without fear of censure=by
the list-owner, what is the purpose of the list?

Adam,

I certainly didn't mean to imply that a plan must be rigid and devoid
of sensable change.  None of my many patents resulted from
rigid plans. But, I did have a plan. Perhaps you would prefer to
call it an objective. Bit it also contained the many ways known to
reach the objective and the advantages/disadvantages of each.
But, the inspiration that produced a solution novel enough to be
worthy of patenting could not be a part of the original plan else
it couldn't be considered novel.

You're not the only one who works in science. I did so for 40 years.
Many others on the list also are scientists.
I really don't think we need a lecture on the subject.
