are wrong does not mean that others cant see your errors.

That can work both ways.

I can still recall you trying to tell a physical chemist that the ideal gas
law doesnt apply in the atmosphere, simply because the gas isnt
contained in a piston like the drawings in your high school chemistry
book, And no amount of explanation could convince you otherwise.

That's because it is true. That's why you can't use the gas laws as-is for the
atmosphere. The atmosphere is held against the Earth by gravity, not
confinement. That's why pressure and temperature gradients exist with
altitude, which would not be the case if confinement held the atmosphere
together.

Anyone can state " my facts are invariably on the money" but people
whose facts are invariably on the money, are normally people in high
demand for their skills and knowledge. They invariably dont work for
peanuts, or beg for handouts.

Actually, I've met a number of highly competent people who are vastly
underutilized in their work. Often extroversion and brown-nosing are more
important than qualifications.

typical mx obfuscation and twisting of the argument to avoid ever
admitting you are just wrong.
the chemist, who also happened to be a pilot, was telling you that
they could use the measured temperature
and pressure at an airfield to calculate the air density at the
airfield from the ideal gas law, now explain again
what gravity and temperature gradients with altitude have to do with
that? ( thats really a rhetorical question)

And your qualifications are what ? ( since we are in an aviation
forum, could you start with your aviation quals please please?)

Keep on arguing with him, two twits are better than one.

Ohhh, I so anxiously await Mx's reply LOL

We know he is not a pilot by FAA standards
We know he is not a CGI
We know he pretends to be something he is not (pilot)

In spite of HIS opinions, the above are simply facts that he wishes he
can disprove and yet has not done so.
