manageable/imaginable

[victor steinbok]

"With implosion, you take a structure that is about 200 feet high and turn
it into something that's about 80 feet high, which is much more imaginable
and easy to deal with."

>From a TV show on building demolition (not sure what channel or exact
title). The speaker is a demolition/construction worker (mid-management,
best I can tell). The phrasing is very clear--I did not imagine the word
substitution.
