Repost: Mike (Porky) Rieves Tip of the day: Tip #1
mpr
On occasion, you may be confronted with a technical question involving
science/engineering/physics.
When that happens, you should never acknowledge your ignorance. Instead
you should arrogantly take the position that you are correct and that you
don't need to either justify or explain your position.
Here's an example of how I responded when I was confronted with such a
situation in alt.sci.physics.acoustics on 4/8/2005.
"I don't believe in wasting my time analyzing what's obvious to me"
"I have the ability to create fairly complex mental models and visualize
what will happen under given circumstances."
Despite the fact that I am technically inept when it comes to
science/engineering/physics, that line of bull shit got me off the hook in
that situation. Hopefully that or a similar approach will also work for
you.

Additional examples of my technical incompetence can be found at the Porky

If you agree that I am a technically-inept jackass, and/or care to provide
further examples of my technical incompetence, you can add your comments to

That post was well over a year ago, have you nothing better than that?
BTW, the part below is not a quote from me, our friend the ghost added that,
and I'm sure that he is talking about himself, since he has added absolutely
nothing positive to this group at any time.

BTW, don't bother replying, this alias is in my killfile as of right now.

Examples of your pathetic attempts to cover up your lack of knowledge of
basic physics, science and engineering with bull/pig shit are somewhat
limited because you tend to stay away from groups that are read by highly
educated professional scientists and engineers. Unlike you, they actually
have actual diplomas hanging on their walls, not hustler centerfolds,

It is often said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder (eg Jim Carr's
latest wife). Likewise, calling attention to your scummy, sociopathic
character and your gross technical incompetence can be judged as either
positive or negative, depending on the mindset of the reader.
