I always assume that all folks are of merit until such time as I become aware of facts that show merit is lacking. I have a very very high standard of proof required before I decide that a person is a low life and an even higher standard before I would publicly question the honor or integrity of any person. Having spend much time analyzing very complex issues I have found many very reliable tests that show a person is technology retarded or ignorant and thus hold stupid position in their state of ignorance. Stupidity is very easy to see, but dishonesty is more difficult. If you wish an opinion on my engineering then ask your brother about watman.com and ask what it takes to publish 13000 pics. But you see it's not that engineers like things clearly delineated, It's that engineers have the ability to quickly delineate very complex issues into a set of simpler ones. It is then easy to assess the different levels of contribution of the simpler issues. People are honest or not and people are ignorant or not. tom watson tosiwmee
