But how do you get from "we might want to do lots of calculations to design aircraft" to "let's standardize 16-/32-bit computing"? How exactly does this "standardization" help anything at all?

Standardization might be useful, methinks, in times of peace when people are eating tofu (to borrow a turn of phrase). In times of war or nuclear disaster, not so much.

Thank you!
