![]() "Gord Beaman" wrote in message ... Exactly exactly...I always thought it was fun...a few seemed to understand him so some of it must have made sense I guess...not Oh, I could understand and follow him (just had to spend the effort deciphering the acronyms from context). Just that most of his proposals lacked robustness and all his presentations were deficient in clarity. For me it simply got to the point my time was worth more to me than the return. much did to me...it was what, a couple of years ago?...three maybe?... I would think longer than that... A quick search out of google shows his last posting as Aug 27, 2001 which was barely over a dozen lines and had but three acronyms and they were all common. |

Just that most of his proposals lacked robustness and all his presentations were deficient in clarity. For me it simply got to the point my time was worth more to me than the return. As Paul J. Adam put it in a classic post (Sub: "Plummer-English dictionary"): In article , Maury Markowitz writes Which is what, that he doesn't know what he's talking about? Because he writes with lots of acronyms? I assume you don't do science for a living. No, I do weapon system development for a living and Kurt throws acronyms around that neither I, nor my colleagues, nor printed guides, nor major Internet search engines, can decipher. I'd say he lacks clarity in his EOR and fails to apply necessary FFPC to his proposals. Or I could say that he fails to do a proper SNA which poisons the entire CADMID cycle, and that he fails to break out his KURs and KSRs. I could also say that his blatant refusal to do even the most basic TOS against his KURs makes it impossible to evaluate his claims in any dispassionate way. He's obviously never had to work within an IPT with DSTL input using DTUPC/DFS methods to minimise LCC against uncertain ACs with a loose URD and no defined SRD from which to derive the design. Of course you can't get around DEFSTAN 00-56 and its allocation of SILs which have a massive impact on SCS development costs. Can you provide any evidence for your postion? Anything off topic? Obvious name dropping? Made up FLAs? No? None of the above abbreviations are made up. Is it easy to read, is it readily comprehensible? Nope. But it makes perfect sense... if you speak the same jargonese as the author. It's _easy_ to strew incomprehensible jargon into your writing. It's harder to write readable English. If you believe what you write, make it comprehensible. If you're peddling snake oil, bury as much as you can in technobabble. |
