This was the infamous, asinine, "Experts are Everywhere" letter put out by Rick Moffet, of Lycoming. I think he was "Chief Engineer" at the time.

He was once quoted as saying in the test cell, "That's the first time I've ever touched the mixture control, we usually just leave it full rich, here."

He's made some stupid misstatements in public, and we've sent him data to demonstrate the "difference from reality." He never responded, and like "yr right", I don't think he ever read it, either. It's called a "closed mind."

He is gone now, and I think Lycoming has withdrawn that ghastly document, as I cannot find it there. It's only left on a few oddball websites, now.
