Does that clarification address your point? (Modern Sartin programs owe a lot to PMTR foundations...)

It certainly does help to clarify, thanks. As I've said before, the PMTR textbook was my introduction to the methodology and I treasure my copy of it highly.
Has there been a poll as to Spec vs Val mode - which one is used more? I'm unfamiliar with the difference but i believe I saw a post of your own preferring the former.
