As was pointed out, company stock price doesn't mean good designs...and, for
that matter, company stock price very frequently has nothing to do with
whether the company is even making money.


because of his comments that engineers with good social
skills don't make good 'design engineers' but rather that they're the
sucky ones that end up being project managers. He's wrong, IMO.

Well, I didn't use the words 'design Engineers', you did. I've been around
lots of Engineers...and I know enough about product designs/Engineering that
I can actually tell if the product is good. There is, IMO, a corrolation
between mediocre Engineers and guys that end up as 'project manager'. The
better Engineers are the ones doing the work, not interfacing with
marketing, customers, or other managment levels. I'm not saying that
Engineers are pathetic dweebs that can't go outside in public without
staring at their shoes in fear. I am saying that Misty's poor social skills
showing was not surprising given that she is 'an engineer'.
