I don't speak any German. However, I don't claim to know things when I don't.
Bisous.

You claim to know when I’m wrong - yet you don’t correct me. So far you could be mistaken for a guy with an emotional problem.

There is a touch of outside but it's only available to certain insiders.

Emotional and memory issues.

Dear Dr. Patrick Einstein Freud Poincaré Johnson,
You are not even wrong. (Hint: check the link.)

Johnson, hit with a strong left hook to the stomach followed by a pile driving right uppercut to the chin goes DOWN...one...two...three...four...five...six...seven...
Mark Wilson. Best place to start.
Still won't even guess what's right, huh?
pj <- on behalf of AzB, thanks for your "input"

I thought that's what you were doing when you said thank you for your input. It was how I read it anyway. Nearly spit up my drink.I really dislike analogous conversations because they are like a box of chocolates. So when somebody gives me a nice looking one and then I bite it to find Coconut! I want to spit it back in my hand. My endeavors to attain the Miss Congenital tatty award led me to study miss manners. So I just swallow and say thank you. So when I say "thank you for your input" I am thinking, "you are so full of shit".
I had a coworker who, when you were boring him to tears with whatever you were saying, would say, "Very interesting." I don't think he was being sarcastic, just polite. In any case, I knew to move on.
My favorite instructor taught a lot of one to four day seminars, he had a lot of ground to cover and almost every student in the classes was a system engineer, one of my classmates was over a thousand computers for Mobil Oil for example. He had a nice million dollar a year budget in the mid-nineties.
Anyway, Anthony would try to explain something a couple different ways but if one person was bogging down the class either deliberately or genuinely lacking in understanding, Anthony had a one word answer to all situations. "Magic!" He did tell people that might be genuinely confused to catch him at break. He wasn't a jerk, he was just bearing in mind that he had over twenty people to teach, one monopolizing his time was a disservice to everyone else.

During my training in the Marines for ground support electrician every time someone wanted a deeper explanation the instructor’s would always say, it’s FM. The meaning was F’n Magic, so it’s funny to hear this!
The FM path may be the right one in most situations but for technical stuff weird problems sometimes require a deeper understanding. That's true at pool when diagnosing problems.
I agree but all we got was FM and we were on our own
