I think discussing by authority, be it the christian dogmatic way,
is a very bad way of discussion. Discussion should better be about the 
"why" someone said so, not about the "who" said it.

The Rambam, Rabbi Moshe bar Maimon [Córdoba 30 Mar 1135-Fustat 13 Dec 1204]
was an outstanding scholar and phylosopher, his teachings being debated 
daily among the Jewish, but only about his arguments, not because it was he 
who said something. And his incidental kneefall to dogmatism is widely 
ridiculed in Jewish "lehrnen".

Too young? John, we both are older than the Rambam ever was. ;-)

Siemens (unit). Mho is an alternative name of the same unit, the reciprocal 
of one ohm. Mho is derived from spelling ohm backwards and is written with 
an upside-down capital Greek letter Omega, Unicode symbol U+2127.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mho#Mho>

Evidently, I give my admittance, the "why" sounds ludicrously illogical. 

Even so the family name of Siemens was of Dutch stock,
from the county of Holland, meaning the patronymic "son of Sijmen".

Long time ago at Dry Island Buffalo Jump in Alberta, I met a man named 
"Siemens", whose ancestors fled the Ukraine during the Russian revolution, 
where they had lived in Dutch speaking [ultra?]orthodox protestant villages 
after emigrating with their sect from the Netherlands long before, to 
preserve their own cherished dogmatism. 

Perhaps he was from this Canadian Ukraine family:

op=GET&db=ukraine&id=I65524>

"Ernst Werner Siemens", a Hannover county son of a tenant farmer probably 
from Dutch descent, added the nobel "von" in "von Siemens" at the age of 72.

"Ohm" as a family name reportedly comes from the early German for "Uncle",
so atmittance could admittedly have been called "Tante" for the same reason.
