If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will
scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he
will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered
something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his
instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The
origin of myths is explained in this way.
- Bertrand Russell


This is how you, nick, steve and many others in these groups decide
what to believe. If it makes you feel good then it is truth.

You believe that you designed a system because it makes you feel good.
The reality is that you copied your system design, found it did not
meet your needs and kept throwing panels at it until it could, at
least during daylight hours.

Nick believes that he can design the perfect house. The reality is
that he has never done more than waste a lot of paper. He has never
done what he preaches.

Steve believes he has a 1000 watt wind generator that produces 1000
watts whenever it is turning. The reality is that he runs a wind/solar
assisted generator system.

And then, there is beemerwanker. He believes that he is a skilled
designer and builder of solar power systems. The reality is that he is
a ham fisted, ham actor, maladroit with all the tool using skils of a
dyslexic chimpanzee.

Now, you want to see my calculations. Interesting request, coming from
a guy that can't even provide such basic information as to how he
arrived at two days autonomy for his system.

If I told you how I designed my house so as not to require air
conditioning you would not be able to comprehend the process.

So I will tell you.

I took several thousand years of building design from many cultures,
added a bit of modern technology, and proceeded to design a house to
meet my needs.

In short, I made a very educated guess based on 40 years of personal
experience and built a house that does not require AC.

When I say that I designed my house, that is just what I did. I drew
the plans.

And when I say I built my house, I am not playing word games about
being the general contractor. I built the house. I was in charge of
every aspect of construction, I laid every stone. Poured all the
concrete. Did all the steel work. All the timber work. Plumbing and
electrical.

While you, well, you just hired a bunch of contractors and then tried
to claim the credit.
