an investigator overcome operational obstacles in applying design of experiments.
Admittedly, there are inherent risks associated with the judgments and assumptions
made along the way; but as in investments in the financial world, the returns in the
end tend to be proportional to the risks a person is willing or able to take in making
his decisions. What is important, in both financial investment and industrial design
of experiments, is a keen awareness of the possible risks involved, and an ability to
balance such risks against potential returns. Again, in both cases, no textbook rules
can replace insight and experience in the course of optimizing the final outcome.
