Maybe. I know I've had a disagreement with Tom Roberts, a professional. 
So maybe I haven't learned that subject, but I think I'm following what 
I've read. For the record, the area where I've had some disagreement 
with Tom is precisely the area where you ALSO have a disagreement, and 
where you and I seem to be in agreement. So where does that leave your 
assessment?

I'm not claiming any advantage. I'm only disclaiming DISadvantage. You 
and I are BOTH going by what we have acquired as nonprofessionals in 
physics. That should be remembered by you, and I assure you I'm 
completely aware of it.

Trusted with what? I've presented nothing other than what you have 
presented YOURSELF.
