RE: I Went to Phil at Cimmaron Technology...

It wasn't Heathkit. Perhaps I should not have said "large". The company had a large enough range that I had experience with some of their products, though. There was just one conversation I had with the alleged miscreant's son dozens of years after the alleged event, but as I recall it was actual component values or possibly tolerances.

Specs are written by engineers. There are bad specifications because of bad engineers. And good specifications can be misinterpreted by bad engineers. I ran a group responsible for writing computer network protocol specifications and ensuring that multiple products supposedly written to these specifications actually worked together. I saw all the possible variations of success and failure of specifications. One of the things that I learned was that diligence and attention to detail were ultimately more important than intellectual brilliance, especially where the genius types came with a big ego and used their intelligence to make their systems unnecessarily complex.
