JP1,
Consider yourself lucky to have, for 20 years, escaped being sucked into the most vitriolic, time-wasting, pointless argument in our hobby. It takes on religious proportions on some threads. Stick with Bernoulli if that's what you already know and spend the mental effort on useful stuff in life, like understanding the off-side rule or something...
