Oooooooh I liked this one. Especially the last part!
Really Mark, I liked your analogy. But in my opinion you committed 2 sins.
1. Never try to teach a pig to sing as it's a waste of time and it only annoys the pig.
2. Keep It Simple Stupid! KISS
Some engineers try to teach multiplication using principles of physics instead of principles of addition.
Lets try it this way..
All hand/power tools, ideas, and organizations (of any kind) are of value. Maybe not today..... But...
I have this common screwdriver.... But dang if all the screws I'm using at the moment are the Phillip's type. Guess I don't need this common screwdriver after all so I'm going to take it from my tool box and throw it in the trash.
(Of course with the flow this thread has taken someone would probably think I have a screw loose.)
I don't belong to the IAABO... But I personally can see the value of having the IAABO in my tool box. There's no doubt in my mind that I could learn something from the IAABO and become better official.
Keep on a preachin it, Mark!
