You really must understand, Jaun has two people he worships, one is Jim

Jones too. Jaun has never been wrong about anything and if you don't
believe me, ask him. (At least he will never admit that he has been
wrong.)


Jim Bede is actually a technically competent engineer, or was at one
time. But he is also an incorrigible con man, much like L. Ron Hubbard.
If Jim was in a situation where he could only design and build
airplanes and not talk to anyone, not sell, not interact with the
public, and responsible people did the selling once the aircraft was
flight tested and proven to meet all the stated goals, he would
actually be able to do something useful to society. However, he refuses
to work in such a setting. As it is I look forwward to his obit, not
out of personal animosity but because he is only going to result in
more people being fleeced and more worthless half-built piles of
aluminum littering garages. And only embalming fluid will slake this
compulsion.
