I would have expected some engineering background.
Just like I expected the POH in my 210 to be written by engineers and expected my brand new IO520 designed by engineers to have all 6 cylinders put out pretty equal power whatever the mixture. Luckily 3 non engineers sorted out both problems and saved me a bucket of $$$$$$$.
PS The engineers actually recognized the problems but were not funded to fix them. I wonder how many extra engines that shiny pants decision sold for their company.
