Sure. This has been well understood for decades . . .
at least in my circle of colleagues. DO160, MIL-STD-704,
and a host of other cooperative ventures by capable
and cognizant practitioners of the arts
made it possible for makers of Murphy's Flying Flivers
to buy components from Black Boxes, Inc, and Generators-R-
Us with a high order confidence for achieving seamless
integration. All this in spite of the fact that
airplane guys, electro-mechanical guys and electron-
herders had no direct contact or collaboration with
each other.
The risks to elegant solutions rise when (1) new
guys on the block fail to see the advantages of
such standards and/or (2) the producers of standards
become less collegial, less cognizant of the art
and more dictatorial in their production of requirements.
It matters little whether you're studying the
operation of governments, schools, companies,
or home owner's associations. A cooperative
venture to insure free-market exchange of value
amongst capable competitors suppling a needful
customer base waving credit cards is the time
honored, well proven recipe for success.
Yes, there ARE examples of ground-breaking
ventures that pulled off a successful enterprise
that included some degree of creative destruction.
But creating a new communications protocol in
a community of well established and widely
practiced protocols is like walking into
a classroom offering to deliver the world's most
spellbinding lecture . . . in Swahili or Gaelic.
Fortunately, Dynon is a relatively small and
I hope agile organization. If still lead by
capable participants in the world of spontaneous
order, they will see the light and make useful
course corrections. In the mean time, the best
thing we can do to help is offer constructive
critical review and suggestions. It wouldn't
hurt to include a small feint as well . . .
make little motions that suggest the credit
card is going back into your pocket.
