If you ask engineers what is Ohm's law, they will say E = iR,

Only because they learned it that way. If you explained the
misnomer,
then what would they say?

...they'd say you're a pain in the butt. You belong to the same
category
as the ones that always have to say that RS232 is about voltage levels
and has nothing to do with serial ports. Strictly that is correct, but
at the the same time the *entire* world uses the term when referring
to typical serial ports such as COM1 and COM2 on your PC.

And you would rather blame the messenger than appreciate the
message.

E = I * R. Ohm's Law. Always has been, and always will be.

You are in denial. Ratch

And you really are turning into a pain in the butt. At least you're
on topic.

I am just defending my position.


It kind of reminds me of all the spam artlcies in the newsmedia.
They're arguing about the definition of spam, as the whole world is
drowning in it!

No one has to read'em.


There's so much bickering going on, that one would think that no one
understands the problem. I wouldn't be surprised if the lawmakers did
the same thing they've done the last few years: skip it for now and
worry about it later.

Everyone understands the problem, but no one really knows of a
solution, or has the authority to implement it, or has the will and energy
to follow through on what should be done. Ratch
