Lurk here often and rarely contribute. Upon first discovering this forum and your posts i was intrigued and interested. Subscribed to your YouTube channel for a bit. Then observed how you harshly treated others on this forum. Googled your name and found more than one forum where you got banned for being pompous and arrogant. Unsubscribed from your video channel and moved on. My late grandfather had a saying “those that do what they always have done will get what they have always got”. You said your goodbyes but just had to return and go point by point against what others here had to say. Now you are not only coming across as more pompous and arrogant, but can add to that the type of person that feels the need to get in the last word. Take care Julian. Signed someone that will never buy your books or watch your YouTube because Julian is a jerk.
That all seems a bit childish, but maybe that's just me?

I object - and object strongly - when people are spreading information that is quite incorrect, and others are then wasting their time in following that incorrect information.

I get very cross when people deliberately and with intent continue to disseminate that incorrect information, irrespective of any evidence that is presented to show how incorrect that information is. So yes, I am harsh on such people - frankly, I think they are a pox on advancement.

In most discussion groups there are enough people who know sufficient about the topic that clearly incorrect information gets shut down over time. Unfortunately, that's not the case in this sub-forum. Instead, and remarkably, the incorrect information gets accepted as common knowledge and is heavily defended when anyone points out how wrong it is. I've seen some really knowledgeable people come and go from this subforum - obviously leaving when they realise that correcting the misinformation is a waste of time as no-one takes any notice. (And one of those people helped me a great deal in one of my aero measurement techniques.)

It's very clear that the depth of confusion and misinformation that is spread here is completely unrecognised by nearly all of this subforum's participants. If the same rubbish was being posted in an area where people typically have a better understanding (eg measuring mileage) then it would have been called out long ago.
