Bob B knows more (about this subject, maybe not others, such as HVAC) than Gene, who posts more about practice, and I suspect that Gene knows it, which suggests that he actually knows more than he says, and doesn't play around about it when he enters theory and good for him. From their material it is clear that they both have worked to find good grounds for their confidence in the opinions they have about the aspects of the subject they choose to comment on, as far as they go, which is among the finest human traits. Everything else is genes. Both have more posts that I have marked 'important' or 'work' than any other poster here. You are off on an irrelevant tangent, hand-waving, as usual, but on an different tack than usual.. I tbink words like 'limited' reveal an underlying resentment towards people who are capable of incisiive abstraction. Received on Wed Jun 10 2009 - 05:18:22 CEST
