The point I was trying to make was that you don't have
to know how a VOR
works in order to use it. Just as you don't have to
know what makes an
airplane turn in order to turn an airplane.

I understood, Tony. I just like to belabor the point
that what we say is not a;ways understood. What we
communicate is not what we say; it is what the other
person thought we said.

I don't really intend to be a smartass; my apologies
if I come off that way!

No problem - and you were right. I just didn't know if my point was
clear or not, and so I clarified it.

I know you believe you think you understand what you thought I said; but I
am not sure you realize that what you heard was not what I meant!
