Hearing what a cow is is not the same as understanding what a cow is.
I presume that Mike could give a reasonable account of what it means
for a compressor to short to ground but the mere fact that I heard it
doesn't mean that I understood.  Understanding requires something more
then mere 'hearsay'.
