See anything wrong with this analysis?


Hi Peter,

One thing: you are expecting everyone to agree that the source has a
characteristic Z.

The chasm that separates factions is found in this alone where many
who say, no "it is NOT 50 Ohms" (or "it doesn't matter") are loath to
come up with an actual value to conjugate (in other words, a sterile
position). Such a forced choice leads obviously to the deflation of
pet theories. To date their best argument is you cannot possibly know
that value (for any of a variety of reasons, unrelated to simply
sitting down at the bench and measuring an actual value). In short,
institutionalized ignorance, embraced with a mystic missionary zeal,
is their crowing logic.

But I do enjoy their examples and logic puzzles reminiscent of the
necromancer's formulæ for transmutation of gold into lead. The
unrequited dreams would be fulfilled if only the discovery of the
Philosopher's Stone could be realized. Hence debate proceeds with the
leaps and twirls of zen-cartwheeling.
