Re: Lifestyle vs system design

 

Well if I use your SS then I'm not learning for myself am I.




 And again, how do I know that their SS is worth a shit?

I'd take your word on it but you aren't even consistent in your logic.

 
Ah, You see you have learned something already. The SS is just a
formula.
You would need to learn to use it correctly. When you learn to use it
you will have learned the relationship between each aspect of system
sizing. Then you will have to learn about the equipment required to
supply that sizing.

You will also learn the difference between a shopping list and system
design.

You will also learn what people are actually saying when they make
claims about their system.

Well, it is basically the correct formula, but as I said it is a pig
of a thing to use when it could have fit on a single page.

The fortune of the man who sits, also sits

I'm not asking you to take my word for anything. I have in fact asked
that you question even my numbers. They can be found in the thread
"Off Grid Cabin"
If you feel that you need further information you have only to ask and
I would be glad to try and supply it.

You shouldn't be afraid to try new things. And it, of course, would
cost you nothing to find out.

The thing about numbers is that you can lie about the numbers, but the
numbers will not lie.

If someone tries to feed you bullshit numbers it will show up in the
formula as bullshit.

Depends. If you already understand the underlying logic, or don't care
to learn it, then a spreadsheet can save time. The downside is that it
invites GIGO, as George himself has demonstrated here so many times.
Why he thinks anyone might want a spreadsheet from the guy who holds
the record for posting the most blunders, is the great unanswered
question. See http://www.citlink.net/~wmbjk/tbfduwisdumb.htm


It's pretty typical, and perfectly safe to use.


You're too kind.  :-)

 You would think on a solar newsgroup this idiot could at least try to
stay away from the personal slams for, at least,  one post.

 


Wayne, Did george actually claim I said his spreadsheet was bad? I've never
seen his spreadsheet. And now he's actually claiming my formula is correct,
after all those years of saying it was wrong? wow ....
