I guess you missed the opening post in this thread:
2. High experience level doesn't preclude basic errors
no, no, no. dow's already talked to the editors. he's convinced them to print a recant.
Juvenile debate tactic at best....grow up and attempt to make a point like men for once....I never said experience "precluded" anything....
Hmm, how is my point unclear? Is there anyone here besides Dow who failed to understand the point I was making?Mountain Impulse wrote:2. High experience level doesn't preclude basic errorsDow Williams wrote:more experience yields a certain result......... it really is that simple.
Based on what I believe you mean by "a certain result," these two statements appear to be mutually exclusive.
Only one can be correct. I leave it as an exercise to the reader to deduce which one.
As for "juvenile," that's a bit rich coming for the fellow who posted:Dow Williams wrote:A bit out of your comprehension zone I would imagine, but normally my belayer is the only belayer to be seen or heard from for miles.
Actually they are not mutually exclusive. It is perfectly reasonable to say that a high experience level reduces the incidence of basic errors, but does not preclude them.
