You're starting to sound like aerohead, repeating yourself--you've commented on this book before!

To paraphrase C.S. Lewis, I was young then--I hadn't started any engineering coursework when I posted this, and to quote another of my teachers (John Walter Hill, longtime musicology professor at the University of Illinois), "that was back when I believed everything I read."
