Andy, no offense intended, but maybe you are suffering the consequences of your own accomplishments. Over the years I have found that really smart people latch on to an idea or a methodology and then struggle to twist it into something that works. They will not or cannot admit that they made a mistake in their initial assessment of a solution. Perhaps you are falling into that trap and you need to talk to someone about the problem. Even if you just explain the whole thing to someone who knows NOTHING, you will develop a finer appreciation of what you are trying to do and often develop new insight. Good luck!
