The short answer is B.S. ... the slightly longer answer is that everybody has
the level of what they will put up with. Euphoria has not reached that level
for me for doing any kind of major project. Theoretical discussions are the
long term basis for practical advancement that is stable and useful. And, as
you may have noted if you get out of your foxhole every once in a while,
Einstein didn't design or build the bomb or the reactor, he just set the basis
and noted the probability that they would come to pass. Obviously, I am
not Einstein, but just as obviously, the theoretical problems that I note have
practical implications.
I have done my best on this forum to challenge technically without becoming
personal. When I have felt that direct contact would prevent flame wars, I
have stepped off line. Where I could, I have tried to defuse such flame wars
as I have seen. If you would like for me to alter that approach, you are
bordering on it. I can and will return a personal challenge if repeated too
often.
Is that sufficiently clear for you? If not, I can elucidate.
