Sorry, but what you say is a recipe for fraud. When customers are too
stupid or ignorant to know when they are being flagrantly lied to, the
advantages are all with the sharks that do just that.

God help me, that is also why it is so hard to buy functional equipment
for many purposes, and why we get the politicians we deserve.

I utterly loathe salesdroids who claim to be technically competent
when it is clear that I have forgotten more than they will ever learn,
in an area that isn't even one of the ones where I claim much expertise.
Unfortunately, with the current dumbing down of everything, this is
becoming more common and even worse.

God help me, most of the so-called technical advisors of solar panel
companies don't seem to know EVEN the difference between the solar
constant, the average UK per diem insolation, its annual variation
and the potential power deliverable in electricity. They should be
required to pedal a rusty bicycle generator, stark naked, on a sunny
day on the top of Kilimanjaro until they have generated a kilowatt-
hour to teach them!
