Error of omission. Can't see the wood for the trees.

I gave him the equations and he couldn't use them.

Yes, it's been entertaining but there are limits. I'm starting to feel a 
bit like the people who went to Bedlam to poke the lunatics with sticks.

Did you miss the equally long thread about how he's going to disprove QM 
by propagating half a photon?  That was based on measuring a voltage 
(he's the king of voltage measurements) and using macroscopic 
assumptions to calculate the energy of the "half-photon".

It's a shame, because there's actually some quite elegant physics 
associated with 2-wire transmission lines, of the 
obvious-once-you've-seen-it variety. No matter what the cross-section of 
the conductors, E and H are mutually perpendicular everywhere between 
them and in the same ratio, and as a result the product of inductance 
and capacitance per unit length is a (fundamental!) constant. You could 
say all transmission lines are conformal transformations of each other. 
Ain't geometry wonderful!
