This is exactly how I see this as well. This character and his
puppets are playing out a conversation with themselves (one person)
designed to capitalize on the few simple misconceptions concerning
Bernoulli that are common knowledge among the professional aviation
community and have been "corrected" years ago.
Unfortunately for this forum, there are still a few old textbooks
hanging around out there reflecting these misconceptions. This,
coupled with the fact that there are individual pilots out here
(from the GA community mostly) who apparently lack the formal
physics knowledge to take on someone whose sole intent is to
discredit them by cleverly using the remaining confusion in the
community concerning Bernoulli against them. The REAL rub in this
situation is that the idiot doing this, from what I have seen in
his posting, has very little knowledge HIMSELF about the lift issue
and is totally wrong in critical areas of his argument. It's an
unfortunate situation designed by a person who seems to pleasure
himself by what he's doing.
Personally I wouldn't give this idiot the time of day. His
understanding of Bernoulli is much worse than those with whom he
has engaged. Those who are on to him he avoids, only taking
glancing shots at them knowing he won't be answered directly.
It's a shame really....but what the hell, it's Usenet!!

I haven't minded taking the bait. The process has
pointed out many good websites we can use in instruction, and has
forced a review of some basic principles. Got to find the silver
lining, right?
Right.
Nothing wrong with a little discussion.
You're not intersted in discussion, fjukkwit
