Re: Only a couple...

Absolutely correct! In a functioning, real world scenario, NP-hard problems rarely actually exist. If they do seem to exist it is often because they aren't being examined correctly. I have yet to see more than a handful of non-theoretical scenarios where approaching a problem from a NP-hard perspective was more efficient than reexamining and modifying the situation that leads up to the NP-hard issue.
