Here's a great one about Tarver - he claims he designed the F/A-18
simulator, and as a pilot on an F-18 squadron I challenged one of his
opinions about his knowledge of F/A-18 FCS.

Actually, in a discussion that was (at the time) on the topic of the F-18,
tarver claimed to have designed the HARV simulator.

When I did the tarver-approved google search, however, I found:

"Your search - HARV simulator tarver - did not match any documents."


When I looked at "F/A-18 and HARV Data" in
http://www10.pair.com/jsalvati/resources.htm, though, I found 11 documents
listed. In a search for "Tarver" in each one of them, I found:

"No occurrences of:

Tarver

were found in the document."


In a search for "Tarver in documents containing "HARV" at
http://www2.cemr.wvu.edu/~wwwflt/new_page_3.htm, there were 0 hits.

[Note: Lest you think the search was faulty, I DID find a reference to the
"Jack Tarver Library Gallery" and "Mercer Aims High with NASA Research" and "The
high aspect ratio vessel, or HARV" in an issue of the Mercer University (GA)
newspaper at http://www.mercer.edu/publications/I...er/Nov2000.pdf in that same
search.]


That would be very upsetting if I were expecting the "designer" of HARV to be
acknowledged in ANY of the documents available on-line, and if I expected that
designer to be John Tarver.


you see you you need to use the use following boolean to search on Tarver,
