Should Gi-lbreth be pronounced as Gee or as Ghi? GILL-BREATH. "Gill" as in a fish's gill, "breath" as in a breath of air (noun, not verb "breathe"). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.237.92.55 (talk) 01:30, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] more efficient weapons/armies save lives??

I'm unable to grasp the logic of the following 2 juxtaposed sentences in this entry for Frank Bunker Gilbreth:

Gilbreth also devised the standard techniques used by armies around the world to teach recruits how to rapidly disassemble and reassemble their weapons even when blindfolded or in total darkness. These innovations have arguably helped save millions of lives.

Interesting argument. How do you reach the conclusion that having soldiers be able to more effectively assemble rifles or other weapons will save lives. These aren't doctors. Is the author only counting the lives of military personnel and not the civilians killed by these reassembled weapons?

This assertion lacks common sense as well as documentation.
