How would people wanting
to ridicule Mx prevent such an explanation...

It adds noise. I have found that he responds (slowly) to careful,
focused discussion which teases out the roots of his misconception or
miscommunication. However, this is hard to see if a great percentage of
the comments to him and about him are designed to ridicule. I will also
add that the pilots here ridiculing him have made aviation comments that
are also not very accurate or perceptive. (I've seen, and even made,
such errors myself in other unrelated threads, so this is not unique to Mx).

Mx's noise doesn't seem to be intended that way. It is just the natural
result of a headstrong attitude. However, those who ridicule him make
noise that =is= intended to be noise. It hides what signal there is,
and that is also intentional.

This makes it hard to tell whether Mx is here to learn, or not. I think
he is, and is just not very good at the necessary social skills.
