If you had to use CW to save someone's life, would that person die?

Not at all. It's a lot better than having the value printed on the
resistor in numbers. Even with MIL quality and transparent coatings,
the numbers on 1/8 watt resistors are kind of hard to read.


Even with the resistor color code, most of us *MEMORIZED*
a jingle like:
Bad Boys Rape Our Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly
I believe the military used to teach their technicians
to *MEMORIZE* that jingle. Exactly how does one develop
the resistor color code from first principles?


One doesn't, but "first principles" has nothing to do with this
discussion - a fact you still don't understand.

Did you *Heaven Forbid* memorize any formulas?


I'll bet he didn't derive the shapes of the written numbers from first
principles either.

the issue is simple some folks want to claim other folks that took and

If you can't even understand the issue, why do you keep opening your
mouth and proving it?


but I do uderstand the issue


Then why do you keep pretending that you don't?

but I don't

I do understand your public snit

the real issue not the smoke screen you
are trying to blow (wether your own one you have been brainwashed into
accepting


I think I know what I'm claiming a little better than you do.


not likely nor did I say you were climing something othe r than you are
claiming I am simply accusing not telling being honest about why you
are making the claim

your beef has nothing to do with the tests it is to do with end of the
Hazing ritual that is a bout to occour you are just not honest to amdit
(perhaps not even to yourself) you your concern is for the service the
fact is that your problem is being hung up on the notion I did so you
must

For claiming that the tests prove that he knows as much as those who
passed much more difficult tests, not for not having to pass those
more difficult tests.

who has made any such claim?

you like a lot of the procoders add a lot of things to what people are
realy saying

That fact goes against your "memorizing is evil" argument.

There's two ways to learn: 1. Memorize knowledge, 2. develop
knowledge from first principles.


Which has nothing to do with the difference between memorizing answers
and learning theory.
