Battlestar Galactica - Attack in five graphs

This briefing will outline a plan of attack in five graphs.

 Battlestar Galactica – Crashdown

Plot: O echipa ad-hoc de 5 oameni, dintre care numai 2 cu experienta militara este condusa de cel mai mare in grad dintre ei, un tanar locotenent. Acesta isi asuma, impreuna cu aceasta echipa, executarea unei dificile operatii militare impotriva unui inamic superior.  Handicapul numeric si al pregatirii este accentuat de lipsa sa de experienta reala ca ofiter pe teren.

Lt. Crashdown: This briefing will outline a plan of attack in five graphs. Graph 1: Situation. Our situation is that we are stranded on Kobol with a group of five Cylons...who are planning to use an AAU to destroy any SAR aircraft sent to find us.There are no other friendly forces present. Graph 2: Mission….
Baltar: What's all this "graph" business?
Chief Tyrol: It's a five paragraph order. ...to destroy the AAU.... It's a Basic command tool. It's taught at officer candidate school.  IT'S JUST NOT USUALLY USED THIS LITERALLY IN THE FIELD.
Lt. Crashdown: Graph 4: Execution. We will assault the Cylon launch site ….

IT'S JUST NOT USUALLY USED THIS LITERALLY IN THE FIELD

Ce face tanarul locotenent: executa pas cu pas, ad-litteram, o procedura militara in forma sa didactica, invatata la scoala militara. Daca nu as fi vazut de multe ori in meseria mea acest lucru, as fi trecut fara sa observ aceasta secventa.  Ce inseamna de obicei "profesionalismul"? Sa luam definitia ingineriei a organizatiei profesionale ECPD. Similar poate fi si pentru alte meserii.

"the creative application of scientific principles to design or develop structures, machines, apparatus, or manufacturing processes, or works utilizing them singly or in combination; or to construct or operate the same with full cognizance of their design; or to forecast their behavior under specific operating conditions; all as respects an intended function, economics of operation and safety to life and property."

Avem deci "aplicarea creativa" a "principiilor stiintifice". De multe ori, gasim asa zisi profesionisti care "schioapata" bine in unul dintre cele doua aspecte: ori nu stiu principiile care fundamenteaza meseria lor, ori le stiu si nu sunt in stare sa le adapteze, combine si foloseasca in practica. Daca mai putem si partea cu "intended function, economics of operation and safety to life and property", raman si mai putini care isi fac meseria cum ar trebui.

Problema

Ceea ce este foarte rau pana la urma este ca acesti pseudo-profesionisti, precum locotenentul Crashdown din acest episod BSG, isi asuma constient sau nu sarcini care in realitate ii depasesc, fara sa ceara sau sa accepte ajutor sau suport. Impostura este o caracteristica umana destul de raspandita...
