A TT for weekdays and a TT for the weekend? .... I think the Pinkerton
family lack some imagination in car choice.

Don't deal me in on this - I want a Tuscan!

Don't forget the bumper
sticker for the TT .... "errrr my other car is also a TT as well"

I liked the one I saw on a Porsche 996 Turbo - "my other car is a
clapped-out Fiesta".

Ah, but things are different from numbers, at least to most people.

Quite so, but Kurt didn't say 'the difference between one thing and
nothing', did he? He used numbers.

Doesn't matter whether it's a '1' and a '0' or a 'TT' and 'no TT'.

It's sad that someone like yourself is so bound by the 'rules' that they
can't see beyond them.

Sure I can - beyond the rules, things don't work properly............

You are like a car on a scalextric track, only able to follow where the
contact groove (the 'rules') takes you.

That's right.

So far nothing you've said or done demonstrates your plea that you are
imaginitive. In fact the contrary is true.

An imaginative engineer still has to keep within the rules, or the
thing what he's engineeered won't work..................

Much like a lot of so-called 'high end' audio gear!

Bi-amping will almost certainly make an audible difference.

Why would it?

For a start, it's most unlikely you'd be sending exactly the same
level into each side. That would make a gross audible difference.

Though, as I said, not necessarily an improvement.

How would one know if the rules were followed all the time?

They're not - that's how you determine which rules work, and which can
be pushed. Basically, that's how the rules get established in
practice. Of course, a lot of bridges fell down and cars crashed along
the way.....................

That's right.

Hence your lack of imagination.

I can imagine plenty, without breaking any basic rules.

imaginitive. In fact the contrary is true.

No, anyone with imagination pushes, challenges and breaks the rules.

Sure, but only once he's discovered which rules matter, and which can
be broken, or bent a bit. Engineering is *always* a compromise among
conflicting parameters, and the rules help you to reach the best
compromise.

Simply breaking established rules does no more than waste time,
although you could argue that it builds experience, so as time goes
on, you do fewer dumb things. That's the theory, anyway............

Much like a lot of so-called 'high end' audio gear!

Your admitted herd-like following of the 'rules' is what denies you
membership of the imagination club.

Your failure to understand why the rules are there, debars you from
entry into any engineering post.

At least the above gear is
imaginitive to have tried.

Bull****. It was often cobbled together by some half-educated clown
who didn't have the least clue what he was doing. Peter Qvortrup and
Yves Bernard Andre are two examples.

Being imaginative isn't all about getting it
right. It's also all about looking at things from a different angle, you
consistently demonstrate that you are unable to do that.

You consistently demonstrate that you have no knowledge whatever of
effective engineering design principles.

When exercising imagination, it is important to know which rules to
challenge and try to break. Nobody has enough time to attack them all.

One of 'the rules' is to occasionally break/push/ignore/question the other
rules.

Mr Dim strikes again

How many times have I said I have no engineering
qualifications/qualities/interest?

The more you argue this point the more you demonstrate just how
unimaginitive you are. I'd suggest you quit whilst the hole you are in
is still shallow enough to climb out of.

Then why don't you confine yourself to commenting on things you do know
about?

No - you only think you do.

I spend most days dealing with people who _think_ they are imaginitive.

But of course they are wrong and you are right.

I know what I'm talking about.

That will be a first, then.

As per normal you totally forget what was being discussed in this
sub-thread.

Really? Your crystal ball is working overtime as usual.

I know my limitations,

Like understanding anything even vaguely technical? Must be sad to have
such a closed mind that you don't try and expand it.

I just wish you knew yours.

I'm still searching.
