knowing how to spell Techtronix is more important to you than knowing how the wire fault detector works.

 Knowing how to spell a company name is just one of the first steps to
working with their products.  If you can't get past that first step,
it's unlikely that you'll go any further.
 Incidentally, Tektronix makes cable fault detectors, not wire fault
detectors.  As I mentioned elsewhere in this thread, wire fault
detectors are continuity testers.

Must be that important higher education that you and Liebermann received.

 Why are you discussing higher education when you didn't have any
experience in higher education other than "reading out" 4 libraries to
crown yourself an engineer?
 

You can be entirely incompetent as an electronics engineer as long as you can spell Techtronics correctly.

 You seem to be demonstrating that point.
 

My guess is that you don't even know how to turn a Techtronix O-scope on

 If you've ever tried using a Tektronix or HP oscilloscope, you would
know that find the [deleted expletive] on-off switch can be difficult
and time consuming.
 

and I have one right here in the closet that I used for research and development.

 Maker and model of this oscilloscope?  A photo of it and your closet
would be nice.
 

I also have an H-P laptop that I use for programming off of the Internet.

 You have my sympathy.  After Carly Fiorina (1999 to 2005) and the
merger with Compaq in 2002, HP laptops turned into junk.

True story - When the acquisition of the startup I was at went through, HP came in and set up a completely new intranet and gave us all new HP workstations. They performed so miserably, that our GM set up an auxiliary fund under test equipment maintenance and replaced the workstations with Dells over time.
