- O.K. explain the difference 'tween tech and admin training. And
- where are all these "tech" guys anyway? Don't they know that this is
- where the action is?

- That's silly for two reasons(that I can think of off hand):
-
- 1. IF the equation (PV=I*D^x) dealt with abstract concepts
- then why bother creating an equation for them? And how could the equation
- be experimentally tested? Would Ron just heave some letters together
- and say "here ya go! This is the way it is!". Not even theorists(physics)
- do that! What about all those years Ron spent testing his ideas?
-
- 2. Bill says that he has "...observed 500 people wi a
- simple high school education work the equation to their complete
- understanding...". Gotta believe what Bill says ;)
