Theory Man?

Posted by gusser on March 22, 2017 at 10:49:50:
You seem to conveniently overlook that fact that most of the "Theory men" on this forum are in fact professional electronic engineers and advanced technicians.
We go to work every day designing, troubleshooting, and applying circuits in all areas of electronics. And we get PAID to do it in the six figure range. Yes, that's what a good engineer or advanced technician can make these days - easily. And we make the decisions that effect the electronics industry on many levels.
Outside of a few misguided novices on this forum, nobody in any position of authority in the electronics industry is listening to you Dennis other than for entertainment value!
When I hear some irrigation farmer or small town theater projectionist question the competence of Sal Marantz, Sidney Corderman, Stu Hegman, it just makes me sick. Now nobody is above question. And if somebody here has a legitimate technical critique of these men's design decisions, that's fine. They weren't perfect and you must also consider they didn't have the resources we have today, like computer simulation on their desktop no less! Also such a critique must stand up to peer review starting here.
But this blind unsubstantiated trashing of these industry icons by a couple of members has to stop. It degrades the respect and credibility of this forum.
