So, don't try to pontificate on what you know nothing about...

Haven't heard you relate one iota of experience in the field ...
No you haven't heard.

40 years, BSNE, MSPhys(NucSci)

20 years eng'g code maintenance/development w/ various organizations
beginning w/ nuclear power generation design codes on mainframes (Philco
2000 series followed w/ CDC 6600/7600/Cyber w/ FORTRAN 66 thru Fortran
F77 in conjunction w/ Philco assembler and CDC Compass as required).
From there to 20 years as consulting for various clients from field of
robotics and man-replacement equipment and instrumentation for nuclear
utilities to evolving to support in I&C R&D for fossil utilities.

Not that it's any of your business.

Then keep your mouth shut about it if you don't want to reveal it.
Not interested in such a weak programming "resume" anyway.
Figured you were a Fortran fan and narrow engineering type by your
reactions to my reasonable comments.
No business programming knowledge at all.

No, and I didn't claim any unlike your claims in areas outside your
areas of expertise
I readily admitted I had none in the scientific arena at the outset.

So, you then went on to make absolutely ridiculous claims _IN_ the area
which is all I was calling you on.

You were too arrogant to state your programming background until
pressed. You're just so special.

No, not arrogant; it simply didn't matter.

And you're a rude stuffed shirt unable to carry on a civil
conversation.

I'm not the one who introduced profanity nor have I stooped to it yet
nor have I resorted to ad hominem attacks. I did (and do) suggest you
should recognize the limited scope of your own expertise and stick to it.

....

Guess what? I don't have to be civil either.

No, nor have you been, unfortunately. I've ignored your boorishness and
stayed w/ the factual subject matter.
