A while back I was teasing Morein about getting some measurements wrong with
respect to a telescope. Actually the Hubble telescope. He denied that he
ever had done so or that he had ever had such a conversation on another
newsgroup. It was part of one his bullshit rants where he was claiming that
there is some meaning in the fact that sighted listening produces results
that are at variance with blind listening. Naturally, he was ripped to
shreds by the actual experts on rec.audio.pro.

You may discover more of what a boob he is by going here--

Note that he tries to tell Dick Pierce that Mr. Pierce is wrong. BOB said:
"Dick, I didn't realize you're a member of the bull**** club as well. The
telescope mirror is 40 inches in diameter, and the Focault knife-edge test
would have easily detected the abberration in the assembled system."

Dick Said: "Kind readers, witness Mr. Morein describing ME as a member of
the "bull**** club," when he a) quotes the mirror size quite incorrectly
(it's a 2.4 meter Ritchey-Chretien all-mirror system, that's 94 inches) AND
while he might be have passing familiarity with the term Focault test, he is
clearly unfamiliar with the fact that Focault knife-edge testing was NOT
used for figure verification"

If Morein can think that 40" is the same as 2.4 meters, then why can't 4
microns be the same as 50 microns? That's the GOOD science that Morein
practices.

Of course, Moreain can't even describe the simplest of physical optics
correctly, for example:

[a] 100 watt lightbulb in a tin can, with a pinhole creating an
approximation of a parallel beam

A pinhole CANNOT, under ANY circumstances, create ANY approximation of a
parallel beam unless it is placed approximately an infinite distance away.
This sort of completely fundamental error doesn't do a lot to lend any
crdibility of his shrill cries about someone else's "bad" science.

His "science" has 40 inches equaling 95 inches (2.4 meters), 4 microns
equaling 50 microns, and pinhole light sources emitting parallel rays."
