One in every crowd… why do we have to throw rocks at each other
Why must technical discussions be viewed as adversarial? Bob is NOT "throwing rocks," he is sharing what he's learned over his life as a technical professional. As a young ham, I benefited immensely from that kind of sharing, and all my life I've tried to return the favor.
Bob's assessment of the technical knowledge of many (but certainly not all) hams is not wrong -- far too many memorized test questions to get a license and have rarely cracked a book to actually LEARN how stuff works, instead going with a multitude of urban myths and half-truths.
Sure, as a teenager 65 years ago I studied/memorized the License Manual, but have spent the rest of my life studying and learning more, and I'm still doing it!
