Probably not. He's been at it for twenty years now. He seems to have 
gotten a bit more formulaic in recent years, but the basic idea that 
true circuit design consists of slinging stuff together and seeing if it 
works (without paying much attention to data sheets) has been pretty 
consistent. He resents suggestions that imply that he should learn about 
more about the components he is abusing, presumably because he's well 
aware that he can't.
