I can't find a link, but Harry Miller was working (1931 4WD race car?) with German engineers who asked him about IIRC the diameter of the inlet to the supercharger.

He held up two fingers and the 'exasperated' German engineer used his caliper to measure the air. Turned out he was right on the money. That's what hands-on experience does.
