Oh, I don't know. John Larkin has been talking electronics for a
change, and Phil Hobbs has been active.

Not surprising, given that it's populated largely by septic tanks.

Which would be?

I know you don't have a high opinion of my expertise - you mostly lack
the wit to know what I'm talking about - but I'm curious as to what
you might think this "one topic" might be.

It is difficult to thing of a topic that I might know nothing about -
admittedly there are plenty where you don't value what I do know - but
"knowing nothing" isn't quite the same as "knowing something that John
Fields considers to be wrong" and objective outsiders wouldn't equate
the two statements, and soome might find them diametrically opposed.

Nor did anyone say it was, which makes it Part I of your straw man.

As your follow-up post made clear, the fault was in your English
expression - as is so often the case - and not my comprehension of
written English.

Quote:

---

Technically speaking, it is impossible,because if I could identify it,
I'd know at least one thing about it.

Quote:

---

---

That is the wording that that you would have preferred that I used.
Everybody's opinion of the reliability of their knowledge is
fundamentally subjective, but my data-base has been being tested
against reality for some fifty years now, and has proved to be pretty
reliable.

You seem to have stopped testing yours against reality around the time
the 555 became obsolescent, which would be about thirty years ago.

Fields considers to be wrong"

---

---

It wasn't an explicit claim, but it is clearly implicit in your post,
because

"just one topic you know nothing about"

clearly implies the existence of a number of topics that you consider
I know nothing about, and yet post about. Since you can't express
yourself very well, we have to ignore the fact that if I knew
absolutely nothing about a topic, I wouldn't be able to post anything
about - as I wouldn't know that it existed - and work out that what
you intended to say was that you disagreed with stuff that I had
posted.

Quote:

---
Which is the second part of your straw man.

Sadly, it wasn't a straw man, though you will obviously have trouble
following the logic that demonstrates that you are an inarticulate
Texan nitwit suffering from persistent delusions of competence.
