The examples (other than chloroform in grass) were well inside his area
of training. He holds an A&P Certificate. It's FAA test material. The
stuff he goofs up on is the stuff that he's teaching A&P students. You
want your airplane repaired by someone who narrowly squeaked by his
exams with a 70% score?

You really are a ninny aren't you? Learning about chloroform as it
pertains to aircraft doesn't teach you a thing about plants and what
they actually contain.


And the Navy didn't do any better with him.

So, just like A&P Master Instructors, and their students, and their
students on down the line, the Ph.D.s among us may be every bit as good
as those they learned from.

This is about you suggesting that because you once knew an A&P
instructor who spouted off a lot of foolishness outside his areas of
training and expertise, that therefore a Ph.D. in aeronautics won't
(alright "might not") understand aeronautics.

And it's laughable.
