Dave,
Why do you think everyone must study and learn the "lesson?"
We are all learned people in different subject areas. I am willing to bet that anyone who monitors or participates in this forum is not lazy, ignorant, stupid, or unwilling to learn. In fact, just the opposite is true. We are all learning.
BUT, when all I need is the time, then that's all I need! I have other, more important things to do than learn how to build the clock (it probably wouldn't keep correct time anyway).
Academics don't understand that.
Engineers and pilots do.

course because it's required, not because they are interested in the
subject. As a guy who can only understand amps and volts in terms of
water spurting from a garden hose - and I have to be looking at one
to get a clear picture, I am more likely than most on this list to
reach for the inhaler if an answer to a question leaves me with
another question. But, hey, I figure I'm learning, so I reach for
the 'Connection, call Stein, reread installation instructions, search
the archives, kick the cat, or have another beer, and try to work it
out for myself. |
