Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

Re: We know the answer, he agrees with the thesis' basic premise

Ideas don't really get obsolete, they get supported or discredited by evidence and debate based on evidence. Sometimes when old ideas are resurrected in light of new evidence, their credibility changes. Newton gets discredited after a few hundred years of being gospel suddenly, surprisingly, and then overwhelmingly by Einstein. His absolute truth becomes a mere approximation we still use while keeping in mind its limitations (but only if we happen to be physicists experimenting with high energy collisions of subatomic particles near the speed of light.)

Frankly, I prefer to discuss and debate ideas, not personalities or swap insults even though I am fully capable of it and often get carried away. There are those here whose prior gratuitious abuse causes me to not even read their postings, let alone respond to them. Why waste time disputing a technical paper the other guy never even scanned through let alone read when he has proven himself nothing but contentious in the past. I'd rather discuss it with my dogs, at least they don't usually bark back.
