Fortunately it is true since I stipulated qualified people as in plural.
That is not true. Accuracy is not determined by a vote or opinion poll.
I can give dozens of examples, but one that comes to mind is use of a balun
on the input of an unbalanced network tuner. That was popularly accepted
when initiated, is still argued today as a good idea by respected members of
the ARRL staff and others, but is easily proven a bad idea with analysis
and/or measurements.
Popularity or mass agreement is not an indicator of accuracy. Only
measurement and accurate analysis ensures accuracy.
