I respect your reasoning - it is a valid argument.

I just don't agree. I think back on my life and the various serious
and important decisions I've had to make for myself and others and
honestly can't think of a single time that I was "fully qualified" to
make them due to age, experience or ability.



other good points snipped for brevity

Part of the evaluation of risk taking is consideration to the ramifications
of failure, both to yourself and to others directly dependent on your
success. These are pretty high stakes and one needs to be very confident
in the team's qualifications.

I know that in my business it was just as important to know what contracts
*not* to take as it was determining which ones to aggressively go after.

But,both you and RG have made valid points worth consideration. I'll keep
an open mind and see how this all plays out.
