Couple questions about specialists and city placement

[stormwriter]

OK, i've heard someone say the best place to found a city is on a hills/grassland. I tried that last night, but i remembered no matter where you plop down your city, you always get the same amount of F/P/C no matter WHAT tile your city is on?

Next question: I was trying the Oracle Civil Service Whip, and it says to get a library ASAP, and make two citizens into engineers to increase research. OK, that sounds cool and everything, but my production and food output just went straight to hell! Why is that a good strategy to cripple my best city?
