Why are you attributing a John Larkin quote to bill.sloman?

Um, because that's what I was replying to?!

He said:

Of course it is good, but mind-rippingly good, insanely priced,
perfect-out-the-door good?

Some scepticism is obligatory.

Lay off the bong and you'll be able to catch things like these yourself.

But you DON'T. I'm beginning to wonder now if your job applications have failed
not because of your age but your attitude.

You're just *beginning* to wonder?
 
If that self-consistent mass is based on a popular vote, then it isn't
science.


Or isn't indoctrinated enough?

Lets face it, when the pope said that the sun revolved around the earth,
just about every contemporary "scientist" agreed that this was true.
What is different now?

Foucaults pendulum

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foucault_pendulum

was first demonstrated in 1851, and provided the first local evidence
that the earth rotated. These days there is a lot more evidence
around, if you happen to know where to look for it.

Graham doesn't and is that sense really isn't sufficiently
indoctrinated. Your question betrays a similar kind of ignorance.
 
Amazing, isn't it?  Can you think back, way back, I know it's a stretch,
back when you were doing electronics, what your impressions were of your
first Tektronix 475?  One of the best instruments ever, perfectly good off
the shelf, and worth a bundle, brand new.

The knobs weren't as robust as they might have been - I had to replace
one of them once.
 
But you DON'T. I'm beginning to wonder now if your job applications have failed
not because of your age but your attitude.

Whereas Graham-I-know-more-about-climatology-than-the-IPCC has
perfectly rational atitude?
 
I have a sister who is basically a psycho bitch from hell. She can't hold
a job, and of course it's always because everybody else at the company is
an asshole.

When  people ask her, "So, what's the common element in all of these jobs?"
she gets hostile.

Those people are better left to their own devices, I believe.

So I suddenly turned into a psychotic bastard when I turned 60? And
only with potential employers?
There are more pausible hypotheses.
 
I (the company) sold a prototype to a client. We replaced it with a production
model about a year later but let them keep the original which they still have as
it was the first pro-mixer the venue had ever bought.

Obviously a very demanding and sophisticated customer.

They are. They just won Music Pub Of the Year award. AND are lined up for another
award later this year.

You're not wrong. The pre-production prototype worked just fine for that year before
they got a production model. Nary a problem. I only just recently discovered they
still have it actually and the boss said "we're not letting that one go" because it
was at that point that the the venue became 'professional'.

Yes.

For one, that you've always been a psychotic bastard but you needed to
work so you kept it more-or-less beneath the surface until you were
financially secure enough that you no longer needed to.

To call Sloman reasonable would be like considering Margaret Thatcher to have an
enlightened and forward-thinking mind.

Normally I'd hesitate to take medical advice from someone who hasn't
had medical training, but since Graham is so practiced in finding out
about stuff in areas where he hasn't had the benefit of formal
education, his advice is this area has to be just as reliable as his
opinions about anthropogenic global warming.

I am seeing a doctor this evening, but he's a world class cancer
specialist rather than a psychiatrist.

There are others. The idea that pschotic behaviour could be suppressed
by social constraintsis somewhat unconventional

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychosis

and could really only be entertained by someone who was himself
somewhat out of touch with reality.

And the the timing doesn't work. I was "financially secure" before I
turned fifty.

Margaret Thatcher did have an enlightened and forward-thinking mind -
it was enlightened by a remarkably silly form of Chicago School
economics, so she directed a lot of thoroughly misguided effort into
schemes that she thought would make Britain more prosperous.

Eeyore ought to understand this, since his ideas about anthropogenic
global warming have a similar disconnecdtion with reality.

One of the well known problems of selling measuring instruments to the
brewing industry is that the people who use them tend to have a
relatively high blood alcohol level. They aren't always the most
discriminating of customers, and the gear they use has to have good
operator-error detection and thoroughly transparent error-recovery
procedures.

Denial of the problem is the first sign ..... etc.

HAHA !

Eeyore ought to understand this,

I DO understand it. Which is why I quoted it.

since his ideas about anthropogenic
global warming have a similar disconnecdtion with reality.

The only one round here disconnected from reality is YOU. And I suspect it's a mild form
of mental illness, possibly depression related.
