I know that AP is strong doing groundbraking and strange novel analogies, and even has good prose, but What is the skill that Archimedes Plutonium is lacking ?
And why is a problem for AP that google finish the gateway to usenet if he can follow posting directly to usenet ?
PD : Also the book 'The Ghost in My Brain: How a Concussion Stole My Life and How the New Science of Brain Plasticity Helped Me Get It Back'
written by Clark Elliott as good reference.

Jaime:
First, let me say that I am not a psychologist, a psychiatrist, or any breed of physician or social scientist. What I am is an Electrical Engineer, and have been for the past 40 years or so. I have a BS in EE from Georgia Tech, an MS in EE from
Stanford University, and a Diploma from the Advanced Management College of the Stanford Graduate School of Business. I had a long career in engineering research at the Stanford Research Institute (now SRI Internationsl) retiring as VP for the Advanced
Technology Division. I taught freshman math as a TA (Teaching Assistant) at Georgia Tech.
So: What's up with our friend, Archimedes Plutonium? My understanding is that he graduated from the U. of Cincinnati and held a job at Dartmouth University. He was not on the faculty, but rather worked in the kitchen at one of the resident halls. He
had a "Dartmouth.edu" email address, which gave him some apparent influence to the NewsGroups he posted to. My estimate of his problem is this: He is incapable of learning. My 14-year-old granddaughter can tell you what Ohm's Law is, but AP cannot. his
approach seems to be this: Dream up some far-out explanation for some well-known phenomena, create what he calls a "proof" and then downgrade all who disagree. He seems to take joy in bad-mouthing the best mathematicians and physicists. One of his
latest ventures is this: He has "discovered" that water is not H2O, it is really H4O. How about that? This is enough for now, but thanks for bringing up the fascinating subject of AP. Cheers!
