For several years I wouldn't even let it be known that I was an engineer. I seem to have been challenged perpetually by people who call themselves subjectivists, sometimes waving their credientials and accolades like a trophy banner. After one particular one or two of them kept making jackasses out of themselves over and over again, that was it. E-Stat is a troll who is always looking for a fight and always winds up with a bloody nose. He's no engineer no matter what his title or degree says he is, he's a glorified computer programmer. He doesn't know any more about electrical engineering concepts than the man in the moon. If he wants to keep shooting his stupid mouth off, I'll keep jamming both his feet into it.If people want to get themselves involved in mathematical issues then they had better know the math. That includes people who were trained as physicists 45 years ago and forgot what they were taught. If they didn't learn it in school or somewhere else it becomes obvious, yet they often persist bandying around terms they know nothing about, technical concepts they've only read about in ad copy, not textbooks, so what do you expect to happen, people who actually do know and they have engaged in an arguement to shut up and say nothing because it might offend them? When it comes to matter of fact technical issues which have long been established, there is no value to anyone except someone who has something to sell or to someone who doesn't want to feel bad because he paid money to buy it to even pretend that it might be true.
After you've dealt with enough frauds in your life, you get a nose for it. I was once banned here for a week for suggesting that something wasn't what its proponents pretended it was. Do you remember the incident? Months later, it appeared that this individual apparantly had bought off the shelf equipment, rebranded it unaltered with his own name on it, marked it up 100%, and sold it as the greatest thing since sliced bread. That revelation didn't come from me but from the people who bought it without asking the tough questions I did but got no answers to. I never did hear the final outcome of it and I'm not going to pursue it but I'm sure those who bought into it and were later disapponted remember it all too well. And yes, I did by over one million dollars of wire myself for my own projects and no, I did not rely solely on my own education to form opinions about wire, I got it straight from the horses mouth, a Belden factory rep before Belden discovered audiophiles were a niche market they might try to enter.
