That is suitable for framing and is a universal truth. For some reason it's not readily apparent to the casual observer.
argument:
A set of statements in which one follows logically as a conclusion from the others
argumentative:
Given to arguing; disputatious
It's a subtle difference, but my intent was the former, not the latter. I understand what you're doing and don't believe I was confused (although I could be so confused as to not even know that I'm confused).
When I learned to scuba dive, the instructor told us "a new diver shouldn't dive below 60 feet". Well, it turns out that there are no scuba police and there's nothing magical about 60 feet - there's really no discernable difference between 60 feet and 70 feet. The value in the statement
for a new diver is that it's a number that is displayed on a gauge. It's more accurate to say "dive within your comfort level" but that just isn't much help to a new diver whose comfort level may begin dropping when s/he's bobbing on the surface.
Likewise, the LCD process lays it all out very definitively: armed with a CC supply, the 720 rule, and the checklist you just can't muck it up. The hardest part for me was learning what in the heck PAR, CC, CV, CD, ASF, M-O-U-S-E stood for and that oh, by 'good connection' you meant '
good connection'..
I
believe that the PAR stuff is in the manual for those who aren't prepared to drop a couple hundred bucks on a CC supply and are going to give it a go with battery charger and light bulbs.
"I'll just step aside"
Please don't - that would be a loss to the board, and after you've done a few runs with your 3 gallon I'm going to have a couple questions for you. The point that I was trying to make (apparently inadequately) is that "That's a given..." isn't defined yet for rick201.
