Thank you.

Frankly, I'm utterly sick and tired of all the hype these days.

Hucksters sell the latest iPoo to people who have not the slightest clue
as to how it works, or politicians who continuously tell the Big Lie
disgust me.

Freedom is Slavery
War is Peace
Success is Failure

Orwell was an optomist.

At least, in engineering, there are objective ways of determining that
some claims are nothing but BS. That is, until the politicians get a hold
of failure and tout it as success.

If you make claims, you should be able to prove it, objectively, using the
principles of science and engineering, not opinion.

YMMV,
