Hi, reuven.. I am well aware these guys were experienced (obvious from your post). I am also well aware of the rationale that your job is getting them up to speed in a relatively short time (think diode current function, your job would be to drop them at the conduction voltage). My comment was that, there are some people, as bright as they may be, who dismiss things in a reactionary manner (which is what you said: someone probably gave them a cheat sheet, and they didn't bother looking further into it). My comment wasn't on competence, it was on intellectual laziness which takes the right from someone to speak about a certain topic, if he had not done his homework first. You only talk about things you know.
