I found this in an article on simulation of Union Pacific rail yards:
"Railroad line management personnel tend to be highly oriented toward quick results with limited time for detailed data gathering and analysis. These characteristics of the customer-base were a major consideration in design and implementation of the model."
Uh, guys? MOST users are like that.... nobody has the time to spend mulling over how to make things work. If we wanted to do that, we'd be doing the modeling manually instead of buying a software package to do it for us.
Ditto for just about every other 'labor saving device', too.
