I wouldn't call it that. You were only trying to help. I was only trying to provide insight to keep the thread on track. Until a few months back I would have never known about "False Knock". Took getting into tuning theory/basics before I knew that phenomenon could even exist. I heard guys talk about knock sensors prior to that but simply knew they existed and that they sensed knock. I had no idea until now what function they directly provided and how they were used within a tune. And I am still learning even after reading and re reading the book I was referenced to read by Bruce on this site.
Some of the biggest think tanks in the world resolve issues through a process called "brainstorming". A group is given a problem. They are then to share in turn the first thing that comes to mind. They may or may not have full comprehension of the technology or process behind the problem. But to work it requires zero inhibition from any member holding anything back regardless of how crazy the statement may sound. All too often one's comment or feedback will jog the thought process of another and so on.
