About

retired mechanical engineer, design/build/test military & commercial avionics.

Sometimes I'm slow to recognize when I'm to the left side on the Dunning-Kruger plot for a given subject matter, but when I figure out that I am I try to work at getting to the right side. I have a difficult time with people who insist they are NOT on the left side of Dunning-Kruger curve on any subject.
