Of course, the financial difficulties in which certain engineering departments are forced to operate are the result of the "Beanies" inability to perform. I've had a poke or two at them myself already. For example, why is money spent on Product Improvement Service Bulletins accounted as expenditure when it is clearly a capital investment. Surely the proper accounting practice is to increase tha asset value of the modified part and reflect the investment in the balance sheet? Beancounters? Hell we'll just have to carry on teaching them what beans look like I guess. Then they'll be able to count them properly.
