Mr. Cole. Yes, sir.
Representative Ford. Is there a difference of opinion in your profession as to how much or how little you need for this purpose?
Mr. Cole. Yes; I think it would vary from one worker to another, depending upon his experience in the work.
It sometimes happens that a person with limited experience may go to either one extreme or to the other. He may sometimes be rather reckless. Other times he may be extremely cautious.
Representative Ford. But the decision you have made in this case would be what other experts, in your opinion, would agree to?
Mr. Cole. I would say others with whom I am familiar, with whom I have worked and talked to, corresponded with over the years.
Mr. Eisenberg. Mr. Cole, can you characterize the skill of the author of the standards and Exhibit 773?
Mr. Cole. I would say it is an average skill.
Mr. Eisenberg. Are some of the standards prepared more skillfully than others?
Mr. Cole. Yes.
