I especially loved the time you told John Winters (of Redwing Designs) that he and every other boad designer were wrong and didn't know what they were speaking of, and that only you were competent to design boats. No one else, only you.

That had to be a classic.

No, you don't have anywhere near the track record of showing people to be wrong that you believe you have. Your glaring mistakes of math and analysis are truly astonishing for one who claims to be an engineer (have you ever figured out that the cos of 45 degrees is .71, or do you still insist that it's .5?)

It's not your manners that put off compentent people, it's your mistakes. And you make a whole lot of 'em.
