How not to be a Zinnbot

A phenomenal number of otherwise normal people are not capable of understanding Boyd's thoughts and contributions, and the Generals now complaining about Rumsfeld, I can tell by guessing, belong to this old school thinking.
1 - Boyd was an eccentric genius. However, he was wrong about the F-16. He wanted a day, VFR, point defense aircraft - a role the USAF doesn't play. He and his disciples opposed putting a good radar, bombs etc on the F-16...which made him wrong again. I don't doubt Boyd was smarter than I can ever imagine being - his manueverability diagrams proved that - but he had a lot of strikeouts to go with his home runs.
2 - The line I quoted makes it clear the writer is claiming Boyd's authority when based off of the author's "guessing". Foul!
Red State is loaded with great stuff today.
