They'll be wrong, too. Plus I watched 3 CFI's at my ground school, the one I paid money to teach me the theory of flying, get it wrong at the whiteboard. Rather common, distressingly. However, he may have had it right; you have just determined that EVERYONE but you is wrong. It wasn't just one. It was 3. My instructor, plus 2 others. They said the thing that the NASA paper is calling "a myth". Who is right? The NASA author or the CFI's? And of course, if the NASA paper is true, then there are even people in this group who got it wrong. Until 3 days ago, the number of people who had gotten (partially) right was 1. The number of stories I had heard from people who got it wrong was probably about 60-70. After reading the link that Jim Logajan posted, the number of people who are saying it's one way is 2. The number of people who are saying it is the exact opposite is still 60-70. Which textbooks would you believe if you had read 1 saying one thing, and more than 10 others saying the exact opposite? Does truth in physics depend on a democratic vote? That's what I am asking... After reading 60-70 that says one thing, and seeing 2 others that says the exact opposite, and it just happen to be that the 2 are the ones that you personally agree with, which would you believe? The 60-70? The 2? Flip a coin? -Le Chaud Lapin- |
