....but you have to have people that DRIVE them HARD. Its all apples to oranges until you get drivers that come out and do work.

The only wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

Is any truth absolute, or merely subject to the limits of human understanding at a particular point in time?

More can be learned from what works than from what does not.

Couldn't it be said the fastest cars are the best prepared cars, irrespective of drivetrain? Few people will give up their AWD pursuits because someone else tells them they're doing it wrong, but many people will radically alter their course if they see something which they perceive will benefit them directly.

SO, if there is an abundance of information on the internet which is vague, inconclusive, and subjective, AND, if we can agree that none of us is more important than ALL of us, MAYBE the issue at hand is truly one of providing clear, concise, objective information.

This is a major goal of mine for 2011, and we're already building the team to do it.

Too absolute.
Wisdom is around when you know there's a whole lot that you know, but a whole lot that you don't know.
And when what you know applies.

Even if there was an absolute true, our eyes color everything so much we'd miss it.

On the face of it, that's flat wrong.
Personal experience of doing more or less the same idea for decades says I've LEARNED more about learning, processes, procedures, techniques, and even ideas from what doesn't work.

Look in a way it's easily seen by some math excercise, so 2+2= (x).
The "set" of incorrect answers is about INFINITY-1

I can learn a LOT about a lot of things out there learning an infinity about things....

From another point of view I do know that what we typically see with guys who don't know shit, and think they can figure out everything is INACTION.

If they'd simply not argue and try to prove they're some fucking genius at their hobby passtime, they might have a BETTER functioning car , the Something that works" which would allow they to drive HARDER, and maybe FASTER. And they might learn they can.

No, ask Gene, I have often had sloppily prepared slam bam work, paint, wiring on MY poor long suffering Saab---I was working on cars 10-12-14 hours a day for PAY, poor ol' rally car came after chasing Poooon-Tang...
Yet, I could make consistent top 10 National times after I got the Saab cross-flow manifold and the 2 x 45 DCOEs.


Rather than saying "best PREPARED' I guess i would say the reults are to those who use what they have the best.

Easier said than done, particularly as we see, there are some people who have stated that they are here soley to be disruptive and to PROVE that others are full of shit----as if they can even concieve of what is right---which is a must if you wish to "prove' it is BS.
