Ed,
If you will note in my post, I mentioned that this "statement" was
extreme, but the message was received and decoded by me in the proper
perspective and context.
I even noted in my post that most of Maxwell's equations seem to satisfy
many engineering requirements.
It was the core theoretical model and visualization which I was not too
sure of.
