If one expects a wave, one will measure a wave.
If one expects a particle, one will measure a particle.
Do human expectations dictate reality or vice versa?

You are absolutely correct. Time and modern instruments has proved it
so.
Now we have to retrain the thinking of old people that resist change.
But all we have at hand are people that are old and unskilled in the
arts.

Art, all you have to do is convince people to change
their expectations and their outcomes will change. :-)

Cecil, I posted this same stuff on the qrz antenna forum which is
followed by the majority of hams around the World. It is now close to
the 4000 hits mark , I find it interesting the difference in thinking
between the different news groups where only a few can manipulate the
whole to attack.

I cannot beat Will Roger's advice: "Be sure you are
right, and then go on ahead."

For instance, I'm absolutely sure I am right about
the delay through a 75m bugcatcher loading coil
which I have actually measured on the bench.

A PT Barnum quote would have more apropos. So is your delay measurement
shown on your web page?

I wrote the web page before I made the measurement
but I reported the measurement on this newsgroup
about two years ago.

Ah. So you didn't actually follow Will Rogers advice to:
"Be sure you are right, and then go on ahead."

But we already knew that. :-)
