Steve,
 
Quite right!  I was laughing under my breath, but did my best not to  let 
it show.

Ray,

If that had happened to me, I would have had little  respect for professors 
who can't resolve such a simple issue!

When I was an undergraduate at MIT, there was a requirement for a

(see my 

QST articles about that in 1962).  Anyway,  they invited three prominent 

professors, all of them hams, to be on my thesis  committee.  They quickly 
got 

into an argument about whether 20 dB (voltage)  was the same thing as 10 dB 

(power).  I just kept my mouth shut, and  got an A.  True story.
