I dont know Terry but he evidently knows what he is doing.It seems that there are some on this board that tend to 'talk down' to others because 'they' think a person must have a degree after degree to have any knowledge.This is wrong.
For a person to imply that Terry,or any one else for that part,is not 'smart' enough because they haven't been 'published' is an insult to him and others.The person that does imply such seems to be showing
their lack of intelligence.
How many thought that Einstein was crazy,especially during his younger days?
Their is more to knowledge that being able to read a paper/book that is technical and have an understanding of such.
True knowledge is being able to understand what is being read along with the ability to apply what is being read and to use what is being read in a manner that would demonstrate understanding of such.
Webster's describes knowledge as:*what is known;learning;enlightening.
*the body of facts,principles,etc.accumulated by mankind.
Considering these things,lets not judge a person on what 'we' consider to be the standard for knowledge but on the individuals merits.
There are many people in the world that are extremely intelligent and knowledgeable about many things that dont have a degree in the field being discussed,however,they are as knowledgeable of said field as one that may have a degree.
