The young guy I described was unusual enough in many ways that he's
still the topic of some conversations on club rides. One member with
some relevant experience stated the opinion that the young guy is
somewhere on the autism spectrum. Perhaps that's true. But he was
certainly a novice regarding bike technology.

About the Bike Friday: A new bike shop opened in town a few years ago.
On one of my most recent visits there, I got in a pleasant conversation
with a new employee about the same age as the guy above. This guy was
much sharper intellectually, and considering engineering as a major.

That's a very common problem, especially with people who are self
taught.  They are usually quite smart or brilliant, but have huge
holes in their education.  For example, I'm suppose to be an RF
engineer, which covers many areas.  At one time I was lacking in
education and experience in some of those areas.  Of course, I was
hired to work in an area in which I had some expertise, but was soon
transferred to a project in which I knew very little.  I had to borrow
text books, trade journals and magazines in order to absorb sufficient
knowledge to even be conversant on the topic.

One of the technicians at our dentist's office is married to a man who
graduated from my program. I remember him as a smart guy, and was
interested in what he was doing professionally. Turned out he was
working in an area of engineering that was not specifically covered in
our curriculum. (No curriculum can cover everything.) When I mentioned
that, she confirmed that, and quoted her husband, who told her "Mr.
Krygowski taught us how to _learn_."

    The ENTIRE cirriculum of electronic engineering can be covered easily in even small colleges. Being an EE isn't difficult except for very low IQ people like Liebermann and Flunky.

Yet you still haven't managed a rational process for using PWM to test cables....
