Definitions

being competent means the ability to control and operate the things in the environment and the environment itself. When you see things broken down around the mechanic who is responsible for them, he is plainly exhibiting his incompetence -which means his inability to control those things in his environment and adjust the environment for which he is responsible-motors. Incompetence -lack of know-how, inability to control-makes things go wrong. (HCO PL 30 Dec 70)
