If someone is indeed wrong, why is it a bad thing to tell him that?


Well if you knew the answer why did you ask the question, Anthony?


The difference between he and I, though, is that I've invested thousands
of dollars and countless hours learning the art and science of aviation,
proving myself to instructors and examiners, and earning the experience
in my logbook.


No matter what a person has invested, that does not guarantee that he is
right, and he must still be willing to accept it when he is wrong.

For me, aviation is a discussion, not a struggle amongst egos.


There's your problem right there. Aviation is NOT a discussion. It is
the are and science of flying and by flying I mean using tools to
overcome gravity in a controlled and managed way.

I can exclude certain answers as obviously wrong without necessarily knowing
the correct answer.

For example, while I do not know the square root of ten to fifteen decimal
places off the top of my head, I do know that it is not four.

You're entitled to your opinion. Perhaps you prefer a social club. I prefer
a science.

Interesting you snipped what I wrote after "Aviation is NOT a
discussion." I wrote "It is the art and science of flying and by flying
I mean using tools to overcome gravity in a controlled and managed way."

And yes there was a typo in the original but that matters not.

Wrong again, Anthony. You missed a key requirement for that statement.
Lacking that requirement, the square root of 10 is 4. Easily provable to
anyone who isn't a moron. Ooops, that leaves you out.

No, you prefer to see how green you can get the grass around your home by
spewing bull ****.

Wrong answer. The square root of 10 to 15 exactly 4.

The simple proof is left as an exercise for MX.

Ooops. Fixing a typo.

The very simple proof is left to MX.
