Especially when describing what a Pitot tube is and what it does. ;-)


You mean the kind of pitot tube that produces two pressures to make IAS?
The same kind Henri Pitot used to measure water flow?

That would not be the kind the lunes of ram believe in.


John this is getting tiresome...

Gord, give up on tarver, now he thinks pitot tubes PRODUCE pressure. Not only
that they produce TWO pressures. The poor man is beyond help.

Moreover, he thinks they produce two pressures and produce airspeed as well.

The man's beyond hope, he is.

All that is required is a manometer to subtract dynamic pressure from static
pressure to have IAS; both pressures being a product of a pitot tube. WWI
rplanes did not even have IAS, until some French person put a pitot tube on
his airplane. It is very simple and even a simpleton like Bill should get
it.

Speaking of the ol' tarv troll...

New research indicates that incompetent people tend not to know they
are incompetent. Not only that, they also tend to be very confident
that they know what they're doing -- even more confident of their
own competence than people who really do know what they're doing.

The New York Times reports that Cornell University psychology
professor David Dunning reached those conclusions in a study he
conducted with a graduate student, and wrote about his findings in the
December issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

The researchers concluded that one reason incompetent people do not
know how much they do not know, is that the cognitive skills required
to be competent are also required for recognizing actual
competence.

Researcher Justin Kruger told the Times that the incompetence of
incompetent people "robs them of their ability to realize" they have a
problem. It also makes it difficult for incompetent folks to recognize
competence in others.

***

By the way, the researchers say they also noticed that people who
can't tell a joke tend not to realize that they're not funny -- and as
a result they persist in telling jokes badly.



What constantly amazes me about this sort of "revelation" is how long it
apparently took these PhD's doing post graduate work to discover what anyone
without a PhD but with only an once of brains already knew by the time they
had reached the third grade! :-)

True, but the tarv troll hasn't reached the third grade yet (and/or he
doesn't have an ounce of brains).

Was tarver a test subject in this study? Perhaps he was the model?
