Why does that matter to you so much?

I have two books in front of me.
One is "Introduction to Solid State Physics, C. Kittel"
The other is "FET Circuits. Rufus P Turner"

If I open the physics book at a random page I find a contour integral.
I wasn't bad at math and can handle contour integrals but it is also true that I grew up in a very practical electronics environment
where getting things working was way more important than understanding every little detail of the theory of how they worked.

If I open the FET book at a random page I find a circuit which may be usable as the basis of something I want to "design".
This isn't true of the physics book but that doesn't mean I don't find it to be interesting or useful knowledge.

Human psychology obviously plays a big part in electronics design as it does in electronics designers.

It does seem to be a trait of many (not all) electronics designers that if another designer isn't doing it the way they would do it 
then they must be doing it wrong.

Would you be kind enough to give your opinion of John Larkin once per month instead of twice per day?
