If you go on TH-cam and search for any type of physical fitness advice, you probably won’t be surprised by how easily you can find a wide range of conflicting views. This is because the human body is extremely complicated, science on the topic is progressing slowly, genetics introduce a lot of variables, and people frequently hold onto bad ideas with religious fervor.
It seems like something as relatively straightforward as electricity, volts, amps, watts, etc., would be a little more ironed out. It is after all, mostly just math, and 2 + 2 = 4 no matter what you are counting. But, you can still find a lot of well-supported, but conflicting advice.
When I see these disagreements, I can usually attribute them to at least one of these four factors:
1. It’s a very broad field.
2. They serve different segments of the market.
3. They aren’t up to speed with the latest technology.
4. They have an agenda
5. I call them “Pseudoengineers”
Spicy TH-cam comments and Google reviews come from these experts. If I’m in the right mood, I give a little spice back. Fortunately, I saved this exchange before the reviewer deleted it:
1-Star Review:
“Supposedly friendly to DIY. Purchased a lithium control board after hearing how they work. Would have been perfect for my setup. They demanded immediately for me to send it back as it was an “error” for me to purchase. Their tech guy tried to BS me with reasons as to why it wasn’t a good fit when he didn’t even ask what the fit or how my setup is/was. Called them out on it before they corrected their statements as I’m an engineer as well and pointed out their bogus claims. I would have kept it but it was defective on the charge port input (outputs wouldn’t respond to input) so had no choice.
After returning they refused to send out a replacement. They also conveniently “forgot” to refund me for several weeks until I followed up.
I would still like the unit but they are extremely difficult to deal with. They provide zero support (which I needed very little of) and they don’t necessarily want your business. This review is from an actual paying customer. I was shocked as they are supposedly helpful with good reviews but my experience from the get go was pretty hostile and bad.”
Owner Response:
“I remember a day in the first grade when the teacher asked everyone in class what they wanted to be when they grew up. I said “I want to be an engineer.” I remember being slightly miffed when she interpreted that as me wanting to drive trains. The point is, there are many types of engineers: Electrical, Mechanical, and Pseudo. The Electrical Engineers who I graduated with were a meticulous group, that would carefully read product specifications and wouldn’t try to use components specifically designed for lithium batteries with an external BMS of one brand, on lithium batteries that have an internal BMS of another brand, then simultaneously complain that it didn’t work, while asking how it was supposed to be set up. There is a lot more I could write about this transaction, but enough time has been wasted.”
Hopefully, this video will lead to more consumer discernment. If you are looking for solar advice, and you see that we disagree with someone and you want to know why, send us a message. Maybe they are wrong, maybe it is a misunderstanding, or maybe we are wrong. We’ll try to get to the bottom of it.
I like this. A guide to the different types of “experts”.
Well done man!
Bonus points for speaking so frankly.
Just became a subscriber. Excellent channel. Tried to check out the website, but it appears to be down. Company website doesn't load. Keep up the great work with the content on the channel. 👍👍
The Victron and Life Blue system you sold me has serviced my well. Your after sale support has been good and if I were buying a new system AM Solar is where I would go.
The graphing calculator sold me.
