The following quote seems apropos he

"A non-idiot doesn't need an explanation and an idiot wouldn't
understand one."

Can't remember just now who said it.


It was I that said it,

Yes, I knew that actually. I see that subtlety is lost on you.

and it's not appropriate here.

You are mistaken.

Jose is not going to
explain it because he has since learned that "Cumulo Granite" is not a
hazard.

Really? How do you know that? I see no indication in the discussion
that Jose has changed his position. Have you been having an off-line
discussion with him? Or perhaps you are psychic?

(FWIW, I understood the point Jose was making even without an
explanation.)

Did you? Perhaps you'd like to explain why "Cumulo Granite" is a hazard to
IFR enroute navigation by handheld GPS in US controlled airspace then?

Why would I want to do that?

I see you're a poor judge of character.



You are mistaken.


I am completely correct.

Jose has a large ego and an aversion to admitting an error. If he could
show a hazard and thus prove me wrong he would do so.



Why would I want to do that?


To establish a bit of credibility in this forum.

If you do a search on Google Groups you'll find I have admitted all of my
errors.

Instead of that, I did a Google search on "McNicoll errors".
It said it found "about 29,100" results.

I see you're a poor judge of character.

I was not judging your character, I was stating an objectively
observable fact. Subtlety is, at least occasionally, lost on you (a
fact that you continue to demonstrate by failing to comprehend the point
that I am (subtly) making.)

You are mistaken.


I am completely correct.

When idiots say idiotic things do you think that they realize that they
are being idiots or do you think that they believe themselves to be
completely correct?

Just because you lack the imagination to think of another possible
reason for Jose's reluctance to engage you in debate is not proof that
he is incapable of doing so.

Why would I want to do that?

My credibility would matter if I were attempting to make an argument
from authority, but I am not. I prefer to let facts speak for
themselves.

No, you only think you were stating an objectively observable fact.

Now you're touching on why your observation is incorrect. Peter R. said
something that was idiotic. He doesn't realize it was idiotic because he is
an idiot. I haven't said anything idiotic, everything I've said is
supported by facts and logic.

Jose is incapable of showing Cumulo Granite to be a hazard because Cumulo
Granite is not a hazard.

As do I.

OK, but you didn't answer my question, which was, "When idiots say
idiotic things do you think that they realize that they are being idiots
or do you think that they believe themselves to be completely correct?"

I haven't said anything idiotic

In the absence of an answer my question, your judgment on that
particular matter is suspect, particularly in light of:

Cumulo Granite is not a hazard.

That seems pretty idiotic to me.
