[TowerTalk] Change in SWR

[Patrick Greenlee]

A college party with a theme of Zeno's Paradox was attended by wanna be 
scientists, mathematicians, and engineers.  The rules were read aloud at the 
start explaining all the boys, in turn, get a shot of whiskey and walk half 
the remaining distance to the far side of the room where the girls awaited. 
This was to be repeated as needed or desired.

The math and science guys declined and left the area secure in their 
knowledge that they would NEVER make it all the way across the room. Some 
engineers left and some stayed.  Those staying were convinced that they 
would get close enough!

Totally depending on theory and injecting possibly flawed assumptions  to 
arrive at THE TRUTH in a universe ruled by chaos might lead you to a 
different truth than the truth repetitively observed  in actual operations. 
If something works well, meeting reasonable established requirements then 
discounting all such observations is not realistic.  It isn't as if someone 
is claiming a new gravitational constant, having measured ether drift, or 
trisecting an angle with compass and straight edge.

My ball may or may not be shiner than yours but it is shiny enough for me.

That's because some of us are engineers and scientists by training and
experience.
