What percentage of them would you say have been meaningful, useful, and informative ?
... that you didn't ask what percentage of them were "entertaining".
Heh, heh. Well, you know, being "entertained" is a "state of mind" thing. Can be subjective and transitory. When all the confetti has fallen to the ground, and the straight-jackets have all been issued and the electrode-cream has all been consumed, I myself restrict terms "useful" as well as "informative" to meanings relating to the "machinery" that is (ostensibly) being discussed ...
In all honesty, "useful" and "informative" are every bit as subjective as "entertaining".
Exactly so. How many times have "entertainers" come into threads that were discussing information that was beyond their cognitive capacities?
Let us not go there. It's beyond my cognitive capacity ...
It's been said that there is no mechanical problem so difficult that brute force and stupidity cannot overcome it. I think that maxim is not limited to mechanical problems.
Make no mistake, though -- I'm not complaining. I can switch from information to "entertainment" just as easily as dropping one mag and slapping in another.
Shades of "RAMbo" ? Or, these days, would it be "Secure Digital High Capacity" FLASHbo ?
I was thinking more along the lines of "line 'em up and knock'em down", but, either way.
And here I thought that we had unraveled the deep mysteries of "read-noise per unit area" ...
When people figure out that it's not how a single pixel performs, but how all the pixels in the photo perform together, then the mystery vanishes. It's the whole "mistaking the trees for the forest" thing.
