[R-390] A vs non A

[rbethman]

That was not just Radio Techs.

It applied to mechanical, electrical, and every other discipline during 
the '60s and '70s.

"We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning
to form up into teams, we would be reorganized. I was to learn later
in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing;
and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress
while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization."
