Hamid's "imagination" comes from years of experience designing certified avionics including EFIS systems, ADAHRS, GPS, RVSM ADCs, EFBs and associated support equipment so what you call "gall" others would call "sound advice".

Scientists study things. Engineers design things that have never yet existed. Good engineers have the experience and foresight to predict how the things they are designing will break, the humility to accept the results of testing and the wisdom to mitigate the risk.
