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. |

Well if you knew the answer why did you ask the question, Anthony? 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. There's your problem right there. Aviation is NOT a discussion. 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. |

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. 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. There's your problem right there. Aviation is NOT a discussion. You're entitled to your opinion. Perhaps you prefer a social club. I prefer a science. No, you prefer to see how green you can get the grass around your home by spewing bull ****. |

The simple proof is left as an exercise for MX. |
