Default Do Physicists Understand Their Own Peer-Reviewed Literature?

But that's not really unique to physics, mathematicians started
doing it so long ago,
that's really why people started working on Recursion Theory and
Turing machines.

And half of engineering is actually coding theory, so that's also
why people
started working on modern robots and modern rockets.

Or, even more equivalently, The problem with cell phone
interferenced-held s
is not that big of a problem, since the people who know RF, and the
corporate thieves at AT&T actually work, have
began working some years ago on nanotechnology, hand-held
supercomputers, LED tech, nuclear fusion,
and superconductivity.
The the people who know how Boeing works, also started working on
Artificial Satellites,
and 21st Century Aviation.
The people who know how CRT technology actually works, equally long
ago
stared working on optical networks, atomic clocks, digital
photography, laser, mircowave cooling and holographic technology.

Or the quacks that work in math, you could also state is as:


How could there be anything wrong with guesswork, since
their also the people who discovered:
Tensors, rather than Hexidecimal.
Topology, rather than Digital.
Goedels' Theorems and non-Standard Analysis, rather than Vectors.
And MultiTasking and Surface Mounts rather than Turing Machines.
