And all this while I thought it was me! The text on that site seems to have
been translated from another language by machine. And somebody was too cheap
to get an english expert to check for grammar and semantics. Reminds me of
the user instructions for items made in china.
If one does not know anything technical, the presentation seems awe
inspiring. For the more technical geeks, the reading, and mental grammar and
spelling corrections quickly tire the brain so one starts losing
concentration. Slowly you become befuddled. After reading the whole thing,
you think you know what was explained. But, you couldnt explain it to anyone
else. And, the next day you dont know what the hell you read.
Just when the information gets interesting, the sales pitch comes in. Kind
of reminds you of the Amway propaganda. They tell you everything but what
you want to know.
I have this informal test for detecting a bullshit artist. You go in with a
question . . .and you leave not knowing why you went there in the first
place. You have just met a first class bullshit artist. But, I digress and I
am philosophising . . . . . . . .
Time to sit on the pot and meditate on Probst's "Bosch Fuel Injection &
Engine Management" book, and defuddle my brain.
