I'm rather surprised you would reference TMP.
While Troy seems to have started with some experience experimenting, he became a pontificating BS artist trying to convert his observations into physics. IU'm sure some would say I'm being charitable. He was one of the few participants that ever got thrown off Speed Talk. That was no mean feat!
Its too much work seperating his actual observations and experience from the rest of his BS. And there's really no need with all the guidance and methodology others have so generously shared. If there's anything useful in a thread of his, its what people like Mark post in response.
