I'm in the presence of a master.

The lesson? These architect types learn a heck of a lot working in the dirt. They are smarter than they look...

My favorite response from an architect when asked by the client if he/she has a design solution for a problem hole is "I'm not sure. Let me think about that." I have an enormous amount of respect for those in the know when they freely admit they actually don't. After all, in any profession, who does have all the answers? When someone claims he does, watch out.

If I was an architect, I think I'd propose a plan that contained one nearly bad idea - not so bad that the committee might think me incompetent, but like a sore thumb obvious enough that it would draw the attention of all the eager editors in the group and thus give them a chance for input. And after they gave me their input, I'd take a long pause, my face frozen in thought until a eureka moment, and I'd say "You know, I hadn't thought of that -- but you're absolutely right. Thank you!"

Actually, a lot of associates work this way with the head of the office........
