Really?
Yes, a socket for a plug.
Not a socket for the head of a bolt.
Or a socket for the end of a ball on a bone.
I really am so looking forward to the fun that will ensue when you try to claim that you really had no idea that he meant something like this:
Please don't wait too long, as I need to get to bed.
The standard wording is .... the first 10A plus 30% of the remainder.
I've been silently watching these exchanges with interest - since I also wondered "What is going on?". Like you, in all the years I've known about diversity for domestic cooking appliances, everyone I've known has regarded/interpreted it as "the first 10A plus 30% of the rest" - and, incidentally, that has been the basis of innumerable posts in this forum over the years, without anyone ever having previously challenged it.What's going on? I am relying on the formula which has been in existance for 60 years.
So is he one of the many who cannot or will not read properly?What then is the difference between Tables A1 and A2?
Mr.Ward did not seem to notice the difference.
Using diversity calculations is not compulsory.As Detlef has pointed out, 11, 12, or 13A ovens, by Table A2, are therefore not allowed on 13A plugs.
Or the 5th row of A1 is wrong.This is obviously wrong so the first column of Table A2 must be an error - hard to believe such a thing is possible in the OSG.
Irrelevant. Which is correct?So is he one of the many who cannot or will not read properly?
it must be A1As Detlef has pointed out, 11, 12, or 13A ovens, by Table A2, are therefore not allowed on 13A plugs.
This is obviously wrong so the first column of Table A2 must be an error - hard to believe such a thing is possible in the OSG.
Again irrelevant.Using diversity calculations is not compulsory.
Unlikely as the equivalent of A2 is a nonsense.Or the 5th row of A1 is wrong.
But not a parsing of the sentence according to the rules for the language it's written in?When using it, a method that makes sense is probably the correct one.
Which is a "lesser" assumption?Occam's razor.
From memory not a philosophical concept which had much traction with you regarding HIE ring finals....Occam's razor.
Again irelevant if that sentence is grammatically correct but conceptually wrong.But not a parsing of the sentence according to the rules for the language it's written in?
Is it?Which is a "lesser" assumption?
Unless the concept of the statement is incorrect.That a formula designed for typical domestic cooking appliances doesn't work with atypical ones, or that we have to use special grammar when reading it?
From memory, I thought I agreed with you on that, or are you saying you were wrong?From memory not a philosophical concept which had much traction with you regarding HIE ring finals....
Usually whenever an 'engineer' tries to express a mathematical formula in words, the result will be ambiguous. That is why we have mathematical formulae.But not a parsing of the sentence according to the rules for the language it's written in?
