I know that some of you will be surprised by this.
Don't take my word for it. Take Mr. Von Mises's word.

I will give you a little history. When I was on RAH
a certain articulate psychology professor who thought he
knew it all about physics and airplanes questioned me on the
statement above. He and others on there had everybody thinking
I was an idiot asshole. There was regular feeding frenzy going on.
That was before I had a scanner and I owned Von Mises's book :-).
Not that a scanner would do you any good on RAH anyway as the
newsgroups do not accept graphics.
I was working strictly from basic physics and years of
experience in the race car world.
In return I accused him of being a subject for study in the
psychology department and not an instructor :-)
As Brent Regan told me; "never argue with an idiot because
a casual bystander cannot tell the difference!" :-)
I am forever in debt to Brent Regan for this wisdom.
