Hi Happy, I've only been here since 12-17. I think there must be something special about this site for people to be here for so long. I'm still trying to figure out what it is.
Basically it means engineers don't like to improve the ideas of others. They want their own ideas to dominate. It happens when someone gets a patent on something they didn't think of. I'm sure large companies know how to rein them in some. Maybe it is just applicable to US engineers.
