Hi Yuri,

What W9UCW measured is not the inviolable truth - the same goes for
what Cecil "explains."

All measurements come with error. If you cannot express the amount of
error (literally, and not just admitting there may be "some" error),
such measurements are little more than fancified testimonials often
discarded when they don't fit some notion of reality, or heavily
emphasized when they converge with the great thesis.

The same operational contrivances hold true for "explanations." The
single greatest conceit is discarding first principles to get to the
equation that supports the newest revelation to hit since the
unification theory. My big stick is where so many reject the first
law of SWR measurement of the source matching the line for conventions
of discussion. Their "explanations" could fill the congressional
record, and make as much sense (but in reality are little more than
filibuster against re-visiting first principles).

How do you spot these charlatans of theory and application? They
cannot express how much error their work encompasses.

As for the subject line "IF"

I believe that was the title of an English film of a boy's boarding
school (by Lindsay Anderson) where the students (Malcom McDowell) went
to the roofs with rifles and started popping off their dons.
