Wheeling and dealing
Caught between the
choices for the path forward, one is left looking for analogies to properly
encapsulate the situation and hopefully persuade the decision makers of the best course.
I have moved beyond the concept of reinventing the wheel, it cannot be made any rounder than it is, it is a circle, and that is a closed discussion.
Probably there is a
case for reviewing the materials used in the manufacture of the wheel, but that
also after thousands of years of evolution, testing, change and review leaves
us with the best wheels ever made in the history of man.
A little
strengthening, probably for resilience and all terrain use that resists wear
and tear is not necessarily ground-breaking stuff, rather it would for the
inventor just be a differentiating selling point.
Fix the road
The next thing to
consider is the road, the path, the way the wheel bearing load would travel and
the comfort that it offers.
Much can be done
about roads, and I have come to the conclusion that when the road is rough you
work on the road and not on the wheel. Working on the road offers a broader
advantage to every road user than working on the wheel would.
This is the kind of
thinking that should go towards solving technical problems too. Understand what
the wheel is and what the road is and act accordingly.
