Strongly agree, David. Back in 2010, when new Handbook editor N0AX asked
me to produce a major contribution to the Handbook on EMC, my
introduction included a paragraph or two on the misunderstandings
created by four different meanings of the words "ground" and the concept
of "single point," the resulting major mistakes that result.
Unfortunately, Ed Hare, W1RFI, didn't like what I was writing, and nixed
it. I was told that he was ranting in the halls about it!
