I usually harass Tom for comparing himself to others for the purpose of somehow demonstrating the superiority of his argument of the day. Now, he's graduated to comparing himself to a 3rd party in order to demonstrate the superiority of his argument of the day. Hey Tom. For the umpteenth time, claiming that someone is 100 times smarter or 100 times dumber than you doesn't do anything for boosting your competence, intelligence or accomplishments. You need to do that yourself. >Jeff is one of the more intellectually competent posters here, I'd be >hesitant to put myself on his level. That says way more about you than >it does anyone else. Thanks. I'm competent in many areas, but some of them are not relevant in a typical RBT discussion. For example, I don't know much about guns, bicycle design, riding styles, racing, safety, cycling infrastructure, music theory, diet, exercise, electronic shifting, disk brakes, etc. In other words, my Venn diagram of expertise looks like much Swiss cheese: <https://www.google.com/search?q=venn+diagram&udm=2> Long ago, I made a Venn diagram to display which of my areas of expertise overlap and which one's have a gap that needs filling. I didn't finished it after I realized that all my areas of expertise had gaps and that the Venn diagram was devoid of anything resembling an organized structure. That's the result of studying as many areas of interest as possible and intentionally avoiding becoming an expert in one particular area, and by implication, lacking knowledge and experience in adjacent areas. For example, it wasn't sufficient that I knew how to design a marine radio. I also had to know how it's made, how to test it, where to find parts, how to deal with regulatory compliance and export restrictions, how to deal with a variety of manufacturing processes, QA, how to write user and service manuals, how to communicate effectively with marine electronics dealers and customers, how to diagnose problems over the phone, how communicate using the radios (industry jargon, buzzwords, acronyms, slang, etc) and whatever else I forgot to include. In other words, I had to be able to do everything (at least once). Somehow, knowing how to climb the mast of a fishing vessel in order to troubleshoot a mast mounted Doppler RDF (radio direction finder) antenna was not in my job description or employment contract. Time for an evening trudge. Later... -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com PO Box 272 http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Ben Lomond CA 95005-0272 Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558
