Here you have, a giant in the field, listening to someone who is so
green that he botches the Biot-Savart Law, not being condescending,
not interrupting me saying, "You got it all wrong, dummy", just
smiling. I never pursued the idea, but I will never forget that Prof.

The problem here is that we *DID* that with him. Last year. To
extrapolate your story with him, what he proceeds to then do is tell
the Prof. that the Prof. is wrong and because he read it in a book
somwhere and played with a computer game that the Prof.'s real world
experience and knowledge is inaccurate. That's when the Prof. would
have told him to leave and find someone else to annoy. That's what
we've been attempting to do, but he won't listen. The Prof. would
have called campus police by now.

Whom do you have in mind when you say Prof? Are there world-renowned giants
in the field of aviation participating in these threads?

Low-time pilots who fly one hour a month with the ink still wet on their
licenses don't count as giants in the field.
