Einstein said something like, "Creativity is more important than knowledge," which unfortunately a lot of people seem to want to interpret as "Hence, knowledge is unimportant," which is not at all what he meant. You can't really be creative unless you understand the situation. On the other hand, people can spout things but be unable to do anything with it because they aren't extracting from the situation. Creativity is an extrapolation. A good example is Charles Kitchin's work with regen and superregen receivers. He went back, looked at early material, understood it, and then implemented solid state versions. Michael VE2BVW |
