That response is incompatible with Art`s previous specification of an
antenna resonant in its parts and in total.

I think Art senses a Socratic interrogation developing here, that might
be an attempt to discredit his ideas. People with theories don't like to
have them questioned.

No, Tom, SOME people with theories don't like to have them
questioned. I welcome questions. I welcome examples and counter-
examples. I would hope anyone wanting a deeper understanding of the
universe in which they live would want the same. I like Richard
Feynman's image of a huge game board, like a chess board, but we can
only see a small part of it, and only watch it over a short period of
time. From what little we see, we try to figure out the rules of the
game, but we can never be certain we've figured them all out.
Accurate, honest reporting of observations is welcome, for it is
through them that we can share in the learning. I do tend to distrust
those who report observations and are unwilling to openly discuss
them.

Cheers,
Tom


Hi, Tom,
You're right, I should have written "dogmas." Maybe that's
wrong, too, though. At any rate, a vigorous discussion never hurt anyone.
