Airplane Pilot's As Physicists

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.
