When I re read my comment and your response I had to try to make ammends.
I was not intending to belittle the experience of anyone in these virtual

machining decisions and would like to pass that task off to a computer
program. Then we can blame the damn thing when trouble comes. BTW I'm not
sure how well computer programs can substitute for experience.
