Oh man, that's a little creepy. :-)
All my life, people have asked me how I knew . . .
Be it mechanical, electronic or computers, as I learn a system, I start to feel
how the designer(s) mind works, and thus
how the system 'thinks' underneath. Then I can make projections of how other
things in it will work.
